Once upon a time, in the early days of Google, you used to be able to type in "Spawn of Satan" (or some phrase like that; I forget what it was now) [see comment below - he's right! - Akin], hit Google's I'm Feeling Lucky button and up would pop the home page for that Redmond, Wash. behemoth.
Now a couple of new Google spoofs, both of which ask the user to type in a phrase and then hit the I'm Feeling Lucky button. For Canadians -- type in the phrase: "What is the worst blog in the world". For Canadians and everyone else, try typing in: "miserable failure" and see where you end up. How does all this work? Richard Dalton at Newsday explains.
A note to the non-Canadians here: First: We're sorry you're not Canadian but, hey, there's still plenty of room here. Second: Jean Chretien, our prime minister, retires at the end of the week and his replacement is Paul Martin.

I think the original phrase was "More evil than Satan himself"
