Well, the page shows up as the first link in an ordinary search... the "I'm feeling lucky" button merely takes you to the first link your search would have provided.

As to whether they rigged the search to put that link first is another question. :smile:

Hehe.

Interesting, although it is obvious Google has nothing to do with the choosing of that site first, it simply has the most relevance to the search due to it's mentioning of WMD so many times.
