Heads Up: Where There's a Will, There's Still a Way

Apparently, where there's a will, there's still a way. Somebody figured this out and it's spreading virally like wildfire.

1.) go to www.google.com

2.) type in "failure"

3.) press the I'm feeling lucky button (instead of the google search one)

4). Laugh

5) Forward to others before the Google folks fix this!

Funny that this is spreading "virally" now, as it's been around for quite a while. It actually started as "miserable failure," for which it was much more well known for, as far back as 2003 (and maybe earlier, as far as big media goes) - and it probably started a few weeks or so earlier than the first time someone noticed it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miserable_failure this wikipedia page is from 2004, even.

Also important is that Michael Moore now comes up second (at least for me) when searching "miserable failure" right now.

Uh huh. Yeah, it's been around for years. I wonder why they hype now, as I've been receiving a few of these lately.

My guess is that they do it for the sheer fun of it. There seems to be no commercial element.
