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!

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.
