Sheesh. It's like the Time Cube of search engines.

They might have a point, somewhere, but it's hard to trust a site filled with their brand of unhinged anti-Google/anti-Wikipedia/anti-blog sniping. Take a look at the cartoons on http://www.scroogle.org/cgi-bin/scraper.htm (they change every time you reload), and tell me with a straight face that these people aren't crazed moonbats.

Do I trust Google totally? No. Do I trust these people more? Erm, no.
