Dougal Campbell's geek ramblings

WordPress, web development, and world domination.

Google’s sense of humor

A few minutes ago, I was checking the status of my Google AdSense account. I have a friend who I think could benefit from that program as well, so I used the “refer a friend” link to zap him a note. After my message was sent, I received the following choices:

Your email is on its way to your friend

What would you like to do next?

        Share
the word about AdSense with another friend

        Go to the
AdSense home page

        Win the Powerball lottery, buy a 155 foot tri-deck yacht and retire to Palau

Okay, ignoring the horrid non-semantic HTML, which I’ve cleaned up a little to avoid breaking my page’s validation, I love that last option. But why isn’t it clickable, dammit! I want that yacht!
