Type "weapons of mass destruction" into the Internet search engine and hit the "I'm feeling lucky" button. What you'll get is an authentic-looking error message created as a lark by a British pharmacist now enjoying his 15 minutes of Internet fame.


"These Weapons of Mass Destruction cannot be displayed," it reads. "The country might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your weapons inspectors mandate."


No hacking was involved ? or necessary.


Anthony Cox, 34, of Birmingham, England, created the site in February to get a few chuckles from friends. Those friends ? and friends of their friends ? started linking to his page from their sites and Web diaries.


The number of links to a particular site is a major factor that Google considers when indexing pages to be returned via its search engine. The "lucky" button takes users to the top-ranked page for a particular search.
