Did you type it exactly as he stated, with all lower case except for a capital
W?

I received the "error" message.

You did not receive an actual error message. Pay attention to the address
bar of your browser and you'll see that Google sent you to the URL SPM gave
you.

That's why I placed "error" in quotes.

There's no error message to *read*.

Ok Steve, try reading the web site that you come to, which should resemble an
IE error message. You might not be using IE and so the page might look
differenet from what you are used to for an error message. However, if viewed
in IE it resembles a common error message from IE (I believe it's from IE) and
the text of the page, in that context is amusing to me.

YMMV. IFIPD.

What does it resemble? What does it say?

I came up with this:

Here's the text of what I got (and what we expected you to get)

====

These Weapons of Mass Destruction cannot be displayed
The weapons you are looking for are currently unavailable. The country might be
experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your weapons
inspectors mandate.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
------

Please try the following:

Click the Regime change button, or try again later.

If you are George Bush and typed the country's name in the address bar, make
sure that it is spelled correctly. (IRAQ).

To check your weapons inspector settings, click the UN menu, and then click
Weapons Inspector Options. On the Security Council tab, click Consensus. The
settings should match those provided by your government or NATO.
If the Security Council has enabled it, The United States of America can
examine your country and automatically discover Weapons of Mass Destruction.
If you would like to use the CIA to try and discover them,
click Detect weapons
Some countries require 128 thousand troops to liberate them. Click the Panic
menu and then click About US foreign policy to determine what regime they will
install.
If you are an Old European Country trying to protect your interests, make sure
your options are left wide open as long as possible. Click the Tools menu, and
then click on League of Nations. On the Advanced tab, scroll to the Head in the
Sand section and check settings for your exports to Iraq.
Click the Bomb button if you are Donald Rumsfeld.



Cannot find weapons or CIA Error
Iraqi Explorer
Bush went to Iraq to look for Weapons of Mass Destruction and all he found was
this lousy T-shirt.

===

It is formatted like an error message (which makes it better).

I don't know why you are not being taken to the page most of the rest of us
expect you to be taken to.
