I read somewhere why it does that...it's actually NOT programed by the people at google. Apparently a bunch of people put the words "miserable failure" on tons of websites and made those words into a link to the gwb page. Google just picks up the fact that across the internet the term "miserable failure" is often associated with a link to that page, so it takes you there.
it also does that when you just type failure

There was a similar thing about "French military victories". Not sure if it's still like that though.
EDIT: Yeah, it's still there. Type in that phrase and click the feelin lucky button. It's rather hilarious.
i love that one.

I did not know that. I did know however, that you must be careful when typing in google to make sure you hit the "g" instead of "b" otherwise you will come across a very different type of search engine. One that will not aid you in your search, unless you're Lando I suppose.
