You'd think, but look at the election debacle of 2004.
On the other hand, look at Romania. Maybe in 22 years or so, there'll be enough results of of those Priority Pregnancies to foment rebellion!
I don't really want to wait that long...
I just think you're freakin' out 'cause you have to fight someone prettier than you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, that's just weird.
Because I'm spaced, I just typed volkswagen santa monica for a URL, and Opera sent me to http://www.vw-sm.com/en_US/. Which is where I meant to go, after googling the terms above. But it sent me there in a straight shot.

I've done that in Firefox too with the same results. Well, not volkswgen santa monica, but some nerdier site.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Does that mean it's a Googlewhack?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Representative Tom DeLay
I particularly love it when Jon Stewart talks about DeLay and makes the aside, with a sleezy sexual whisper: "He's dirrrrrrty."
It's almost as much as fun as when he basically calls Robert Novak a traitorous human shitbag.

I'm guessing it's an "I'm feeling lucky." I just had no idea it did that. I could have saved myself some time. But I can't predict when it'll work, because it's not doing it now.
Great. I'm going to be playing with that all day now.

There's no feeling lucky button in Opera -- I'm just typing in the URL space.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

FF (and I believe also Opera) do a feeling lucky search automagically if they can't resolve what's in the location box as a url.

Sometimes. I've tried it four times, and twice it took me to the site, and twice it tried to take me to volkswagensantamonica and displayed a failure message.
Weird.

Happy birthday Shrift - may you spend today doing what you want to do.
My brain, despite breakfast and caffine is still sleeping. Sadly , it was able to read the texas link.
