    LEGOlas - maybe not great search results, but obvious pattern matching and not a WTF - there I've said it!

    "Fuzzy word matching" doesn't exist since yesterday. Amazon is not quite a really small young start-up without money for experienced programmers.

    I agree that it is not a WTF - on software level. I suppose they rather risk being considered a bit ridiculous by millions than missing one opportunity to remind someone that there is something else they didn't know they wanted to have.

    I'm more concerned with the 1,700 euro lego set. You don't usually see a spread of 1700 euros on a single item. That's some impressive price gouging.

    I was at the Lego store at the local mall a week ago. They had a 1700+ piece Millennium Falcon set that was USD $800.

    Actually that's 1,700+ pounds.

    eBay is also flooded with products at exhorbitant prices just because they're out of production, and sometimes even for current products. Funko Pops for several hundred $. A server motherboard for $700 (used, and has components dislodged in the picture, even).

    Some people are just convinced that even their turds are gold.

    It would be less of a WTF if it were a result of a search query for LEGO. But this isn't what's being advertised here—it's claiming that's a product in the LEGO Store. That kind of categorisation implies a greater degree of certainty than a search query result does.

    Confidentially, 'tis the perfect season for confidentiality. Gotta keep the contents of all those wrapped presents confidential, you know!

    Recently, a lender I used last year when I bought a house sent us a small Christmas present of several cooking items and a recipe to use with them. I was just about ready to try out the recipe when I looked at the back of the card and saw the following disclaimer:

    "For real estate and lending professionals only and not for distribution to consumers. This communication may contain confidential, privileged or legally privileged information. Distribution to the general public is prohibited."

    I decided I should probably pass. I'd prefer not to be thrown in jail over a recipe...
