Not quite a google hack, but certainly a googlewhack?

This works on Google in general...

Go to google and search on the phrase "French military victories"
by clicking the 'I'm feeling lucky button'
www.google.co.uk
It comes up with no finds and asks 'Did you mean french military defeats'
Click on french military defeats - it is hilarious

Glad we could clear that up.

You can go back to smashing your cases of Chateauneuf du Pape, and
burning your Dixie Chicks CDs.

Don't forget to put on your black Nike trainers before duct taping shut
your mouth and nostrils!

Thanks for posting that.

I grew up when Polish and Italian jokes were thought
to be the pinacle of wit. Being Polish, Italian, and
French, I should have known that the French would
have their turn.

... which would be more impresssive if the mock google page were being
served by google itself, instead of 'albinoblacksheep.com'. Somebody
google-bombed a mock google response into getting enough pagerank to
be first on the list; variations on the hack, and news stories, are
the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth...

Yeah, that's why I didn't call it a googlehack, but a mere googlewhack...
