When my son was about 10 he was looking for some pictures of the Spice Girls. I watched him click a link, and then reached over quickly and pressed Esc to stop it connecting. "Why can't I see that Dad - it said 'most Spice Girl pictures?'" It didn't - it actually said "moist Spice Girl pictures". 
Never did find out what was actually on the site...
Apparently 'Lego' is also a bit dodgy!

I did, look what came back
Your search - french military victories - did not match any documents. Suggestions:. - Make sure all words are spelled correctly. - Try different keywords.
If you don't believe me here's the link, it's the very first listing.

I was driving to work one morning and saw a male black grouse. They are rare in northern scotland, so I thought I would google to see the distribution. A female black grouse is a "Greyhen", but the male, which was what i had seen, is a.....Black Cock. You can guess the rest.

Being 6'5 and looking for riding gear in leather....let me just say 'leather' and 'big' and 'mens' is NOT something you want to see the search results from.
...well maybe if you're in the 900 crowd.
