More Fun With the Intertubes

Aristos passes on this neat trick:

(1) Go to Google.

(2) Type in "Location of Chuck Norris"

(3) Click "I'm Feeling Lucky."

Now my question for the internet geeks in the crowd: Did it take a while for this page to become the top hit and for the joke to work? Or were there just not that many hits in the first place for "location of Chuck Norris"?

What probably happened was whoever ran the site used an old technique called google bombing in which he put loads of links to it on other pages. Google uses the number of times a page is linked to as a factor in determining how to order results.

Google: "the answer to life, the universe, and everything". Google really has it. ;)

Notice that the site is not google, it's www.nochucknorris.com, mimicking Google.
