Everytime I dial up the Google homepage today, I get re-directed to google.ca, the Canadian homepage.

Weird. Works fine for me. Maybe Canada annexed DC (part of the Expos-Nationals trade, perhaps?) and they haven't told us yet.

That's obviously because the US google folks were so humiliated by losing to my company's team in softball yesterday they didn't show up for work today. They scored 4 in the bottom of the 7th and had the tying & winning runs on base but we held 'em off 10-9. I pitched and fielded poorly that inning (walked a chick on 4 pitches, gakked a would-be game-ending DP to put ius in that situation) but helped end it on a heroic running-catch-and-tag play at first base on a grounder hit to our first baseman. With the win, Dickshot Industries moved into first place in our league.

Working okay for me, Edgy. I like seawolf's suggestion though

I spit out all my cookies, but it's still happening.

Edgy - "I spit out all my cookies, but it's still happening." I always thought of you as being far too refined for such atrocious manners.

Canadians hijacked your google 'cause of all the mean things you wrote about their musicians.

I sucked up to Celine and she's got all the real power.

Not since she went Vegas on them.

You think that would happen on July 1st not July 13th. So if Google.ca like American google only more polite and every result comes back with the word "ay?" at the end?

I went to my director of technology and it happened to him also, but he otherwise didn't understand the big deal, even when I told him it wasn't happening to you all. ("Crane who?") Googling fine here at home, though.
