I find it funny how he's an anarchist, but he wants to be president... Does that make sense?

I'm working on a high res photorealistic texture pack. High res as in 7 megapixels, e-mail me with suggestions.

you wouldn't be the first, I've heard it happen before, google.com redirects you to what it thinks your country is, obviously theres a mistake somewhere. Try .co.uk, its readable for us english speakers and you can get the same results.

It sends me to www.google.jp, which is annoying. However, I just clicked "Google.com in English" at the bottom and made it my homepage. Problem solved.

google detects what country you are from via your isp, but somteimes it can be a fair bit out - but once you have clicked the google in English link it places a cookie on your computer telling it to always use the english version

google is actually the protrusion of some pan dimensionl beings into our reality, the fact that they have manifested themselves as a search engine is merely a ploy to distract us from the invasion plans thaey are drawing against us. Evey time you use the search engine the beings protrude further into our reality.

Blame mnemonix, he's the leader of the pan dimensional beings, he simply manifested himself as a beer drinker and the rest of the troops came as google.

Vroomfondle and magictheyes may or may not have predicted this many years into the future. I found out at milliways during a bevvy session with with mnemonix and myself in duality. It was there he told me about the impending invasion plan.

you have been warned, google is watching you.

Actually that might be because when you put bbc into the bar thing for putting addresses into, if you just put bbc then firefox uses google to find bbc.co.uk and it counts that as a search. IE might act in the same way. People might not be as dumb as you think, just incredably lazy.
