Google Not Found at Google
Image of the Day March 29th, 2008 - By Haochi
This is what happened - someone typed “Google” into Google at Google (New York), caused a worldwide Internet outage. As you can see in the above photo, you can’t even access Google at Google (New York).

This seems to be a Firefox problem - Seen it a few times myself on my computer and other sites have reported it as well.
Anyway still one of my favorite Internet jokes.
See

for a link to the IT Crowd video of the
“…and I have it on good authority. If you type Google into Google you can break the Internet…” joke.

Some additions to the above:
We have only seen it with Firefox 2 and not in earlier versions. It also seems to be gone with Firefox 3. We have not further evaluated it but it might be related to some URL caching in these versions of Mozilla (please don’t cite me on this as said needs further evaluation)

Thanks for your reply. So I am looking forward to FF 3.
