Don't click "I'm Feeling Lucky."

Unless you're actually feeling lucky.

You might get lucky and go to jail in some countries.

Or at a minimum redflagged.

Great demonstration of why not to use Adsense or other context-based ads on a site with a search bar and no context whatsoever.

Looks fine to me, still serving up ads. And I want to learn how to make free electricity.

Something to do with flying kites during rainstorms?

ahpeeyem• 17 years ago

The dense unoriginality of people tires me, 70% of other peoples' searches that I get are something like "what is this?" or "I don't get it".

Great idea spoiled by the banality of the morons using the internet.

Although whoever put "django is overrated" is likely to be from around here? ;)

I much prefer Ogori Google - http://fi.bemmu.com/ogori/

Made by HN user bemmu during a discussion here last week - http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=854185

I wish all the luck to puredemo's version, mine took all of 5 minutes to make and was just for a quick laugh :)

Thanks bemmu.. ours started out as a lark as well, but then we ended up spending a considerable amount of time on it.

185: you are -killing us- over here. My ribs hurt and I'm almost crying.

You know who you are.

Requires further explanation. :)

We can see all the searches coming in, lets just say one person had some excellent, twisted ones.

I can imagine ways in which these services will be spammed to death.

BTW is there anything useful in these services?

Besides entertainment?

daok• 17 years ago

Are you sure it's not some random search? How can I really know it's from the last person who did a search?

puredemo8• 17 years ago

Yes it's really the last person who did a search.
