Go to google,
type in "go to hell" (yes, quotes included) and watch what comes up!

I always said bill gates was in league with satan! :laugh:

I wonder if it's an Easter egg or if Google just happened to index things like that. :D

.... just occured to me, a tad surprising 'ask jeeves' didn't turn up on there :), woulda been funny to have the snooty english buttler telling you to go to hell :D

Someone once told me that if you type "I'm going to kill Bill Gates" or something like that in word and try using spell check, a message saying "you wish" will popup. :rolleyes:

haha! Now, tell me - that's only possible if someone at google actually links it up like that, right?

Actually no it's not.
My guess is so many people dislike the above mentioned companies that they have put a link on there page with the words 'go to hell' then linked it off to those companies.
Link popularity is one of the main factors that google will put alot of relevance on.

Or as you say it could be somone at google just having a joke, I dealt they would have their job for much longer if that is the case.

Let me just say again it's probably just an SEO having a bit of fun, now that i thought it through.
It would not be that hard to achieve if you know what your doing.

"Goto to hell, sir" :D

It must be an easter egg in google. There would be no way that MSFT would appear at the top of the search w/out it.

Here's more Google fun. Go to:

http://www.google.com/language_tools

and look for some nutty languages you can use like: Bork, bork, bork or Elmer Fudd or Pig Latin.

Hilarious!
