    An Egyptian repairman found unexpected fame when typing google into Google within Egypt turned up his name instead. The unassuming repairman managed to unexpectedly outrank Google in search results, a finding that surprised even him, who was unaware of his high search ranking when contacted.

    WTF does this even mean? Did he find that he outranked Google? Why was he surprised when someone contacted him if he typed in google in to Google in Egypt. And what is typing in google in Google? Do you fucking mean, "google" into Google?

    Holy fucking shit, wired_parrot, are you in third grade? Are the editors from Detroit schools?

    This is a complete English Fail, Communication Fail, and Cogency Fail.

  2. google.com.eg was his google+ page by 140Mandak262Jamuna · · Score: 4, Insightful

    In his google+ profile he seems to have entered google.co.eg as his website. Somehow that propelled him ahead of google.co.eg itself! Who said Google+ is useless or dead? Or is it some sinister move by the !evil company to create a "wave" for its google+ product?
