It doesn’t happen very often, but sometimes Google gives me some weird results. It’s probably not Google’s doing, since their spiders are only reporting back on things that other people have marked up incorrectly, or perhaps deliberately, in an effort to attain some element of surrealism.

Sometimes the culprit is meta tags that are too generic, and other times the results are bizarre because the content has been deliberately constructed to mislead spiders and draw hits. Porn sites seem to be the biggest perpetrators of such trickery, which has always seemed odd to me, since consumers of pornography tend to seek out such material instead of having been nefariously tricked into viewing a thumbnail gallery of quintuple penetration images.

Anyway, the other day I searched Google for "botulism poisoning". I was amused by the results of the fourth hit, as shown here:

Funny, to be sure, but not as weird as the results below. Obviously, conservative fears over alleged liberal bias in the public broadcasting industry are misplaced.

I wonder what other strange search results lurk in the bowels of Google.
