Aircraft Carrier for Sale!
« on: May 24, 2007, 08:41:30 AM »
Not sure why I found this so funny but I thought I would share anyway :)  I was doing a search on the Royal Navy carrier Vengeance and I clicked on a google result for one of the pages. This page had google ads built into it, which obviously take the search criteria and make it part of the advert, with the following result....

Not without spending 5 times the amount for something resembling an air wing, and then there are little things like crews and pilots to pay for.
