Google is smarter than you are. Official.

I was reading the entry at Uncyclopedia.org about Thanksgiving, and it occurred to me that whenever you search on anything in Google, one of the links is to Wikipedia. Anything! Google has a disturbingly pro-wikipedia bias. And, I wondered whether uncyclopedia would turn up at all. So I started picking words out of that uncyclopedia entry and searching, expecting that eventually Google would simply have to return this one page.

At some point, it because obvious that Google was trying to be clever. The time that it became obvious is when this search turned up “about 80” hits:

thanksgiving holland george burns apprentice overlord shopping riots intrepid cajun demise anorexic

Seriously. How many web pages can there be that talk about intrepid cajun anorexic overlords shopping on thanksgiving? (About 80, apparently.)
