Interesting find........ Maybe some proof PR is meaningless?

    Something strange....

    Search google for FUCK with the safe search active. It still produces about 10,530,000,000 results for fuck with Safesearch on
    http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&safe=active&q=fuck

    BUT - none of the results (I only checked a few) seem to have fuck anywhere in the pages.

    I suspected its the same thing as searching for nothing and google is returning the number of indexed pages. What I also found interesting - if Google is looking for NOTHING -then how does it order the listing of pages? Its not by PR because the first few pages have NO pagerank.

    Thoughts??

    Maybe this is Google's little joke?

    "F***! Our algorithm isn't working!" :D

    well, what I found really funny out of this is he sponsored listing.

    the title is "all american dating" rather fitting for the search term "fuck"

    So the way I see it, you were looking for a good f**k and couldn't find one.

    That's just the American version.

    In Canada, we get:

    In Scotland, Ireland, and New Hampshire, it's something about sheep or goats.

    Also interesting is the #1 result for that search:
