Not sure if this is in the right forum...

I remember a site, elgoog (http://www.alltooflat.com/geeky/elgoog/) which shows that it's possible for a website to manipulate Google input and output.

As I mentioned in this post (http://www.iidb.org/vbb/showthread.php?p=1540613#post1540613) Just do a google search on faith, and everytime you see the word faith, read "bullshit" instead and see if it doesn't make more sense.

It occurs to me that it would be possible to make a site which lets you search and view the web with exactly such a substitution performed automatically, which would be kind of cool. But, I don't know how to it. Just thought I'd mention this idea in case there's anyone out there with the resources, ability and inclination to help make the web a more truthful place. :)

Perhaps somebody could do something slightly similar to this (http://www.rwclub.org/f/rwify/). You type in a web address, and words on that page are changed to Redwall*-related words. They are random, though. So the person to make it** would have to have it not random.

Lets see. Some things that can be changed. As you said, "Faith" to "Bullshit". And then "God" to "Invisible Pink Unicorn" and "Bible" to "Babble" and "Pray" to "Beg for mercy from an invisible dude in the sky." And other things.

*Redwall is a book series
**Not me. The only thing I can code in is VB, and I have only been doing that since Christmas. But I am pretty good at it, in my opinion, since I have only been doing it that long. But I degress.
