You know how you can go to http://www.google.com, type "French military victories" in the search box, hit "I'm feeling lucky," and then you get a message that says, "Did you mean, 'French military defeats?'" Of course, it's not a true Google page that comes back to you. It's a parody site. The "I'm feeling lucky" button automatically takes you to the most likely site for your search criteria.

Now, try that with "miserable failure." It doesn't take you to a parody site. It takes you to a legitimate website in which the words "miserable failure" do not even appear. Snopes explains why it happens, but it still doesn't really make sense to me. And it bug me! :grr:
