Thought this was kinda funny...

Some jokers who don't like the Democratic presidential candidate are trying to make his campaign Web site, john kerry.com, the first answer to a search of the word ''waffles'' on Google, the No. 1 Internet search engine.
They've nearly succeeded on the No. 2 search engine, Yahoo. By Sunday, eight days after the prank began, johnkerry.com was listed second among 703,000 results of a Yahoo search of the word ''waffles.''
At the No. 3 search engine, MSN Search, johnkerry.com was also the second Web page result of a search Sunday for ''waffles.''
On Google, johnkerry.com was not in the top 1,000 of the 556,000 results of a search for ''waffles.''
Authorities on search engines say the joke's quick impact on Yahoo and MSN, though, is a sign that the campaign is working and that Google will be affected soon.
