Using Google "Are you feeling lucky" may not have been the best choice. I understand it might have been tough to pick a link that might survive over time, but now, 3 years later, I suspect the links have changed since you wrote this post, so whatever point you were trying to make, the point is somewhat lost. Click on "Guy Churchward" for instance. All I get is a random page on the Sun site.
