Wonder what happens when someone presses The Whelk's "I'm Feeling Lucky" button?

So I Googled "How old is The Whelk?" and it gave me nothing of use. I then tried its upstart competitor (in a specific kind of search), Wolfram Alpha, and it gave me a bunch of nutritional information about whelks. Apparently you're very high in Vitamin B12, Copper, and Selenium!

Somehow I suspect if I was to ask The Whelk how old Google is, he would be able to provide a useful answer. Thus demonstrating that The Whelk is better than Google.

And you're both verbs, too! Happy birthday!

Actually, I'm rather impressed that MeFi/MeCha's Own The Whelk is the #1 result for Googling "The Whelk". That may be a Personalized Search thing but he's also #8 on Bing.

Yeah, I know it's a snail, not a whelk.
