Google WTF!?!?!?

I just googled "Piano" and the first hit is of course the wikipedia entry displayed by google as follows (cba with the screengrab):
Piano - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The piano is a gay musical instrument which is played by means of a keyboard. Widely used in Western music for solo performance, ensemble use, chamber music ...
History - Modern piano - Role - See also
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano - Cached - Similar -

So methinks hmm 'gay' really?! Go to the wikipedia site and we have:

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Pianoforte" redirects here. For earlier versions of the instrument, see Fortepiano. For other uses of "Piano", see Piano (disambiguation).
Piano

The piano is a musical instrument which is played by means of a keyboard. Widely used in Western music for solo performance, ensemble use, chamber music ...

So no 'gay'. Wtf is going on here???

Someone edited the article, google cached it. Its now fixed.

There is a wikipedia set up by idiots to post whatever they want. Like saying frank zappa was a dope smoking maniac as an example.

It looks the same but the info is different you may have stumbled across that. :confused:

Edit - I'm wrong it seems.

I lol'd.

Tripnologist · 11 Oct 2009 at 23:21

My guess...

someone edited the page and Google happened to cache the page before it was fixed. It'll only be temporary.

edit: beaten.

Google cache isnt real time up to date with the entire internet!

OMG CALL THE INTERNET POLICE!

He wanted to know if he would turn gay if he used one.

Most mundane occurrence of the year.

Gay could easily mean something like "happy", the old fashioned sense for the word would easily fit into that sentence.

(However I assume that's not what you were WTFing about...)

You know I think if we really tried we could reclaim "Gay" and save it.
