Browser search mishtakes and spellink faux pairs

Whilst trawling the world wide web (anyone else noticed that the so called abbreviation 'www' has more syllables than 'world wide web'!) we came across this collection of crazy typos and browser search slip ups.
I hope this list provides some insight for your own search adventures, if any, or at least some insight into human nature and how people use search.
Our thanks to www.bonfx.com for these:
