Haha! I thought that was just a joke but figured I'd try it. Nice!
It's a site hosted by Albino black sheep, If you click on the link at the top "did you mean french military defeats then it takes you through a very humorous run down of their military history
go ahead, try it, I know you want to.

I saw the ABS thing. What's their relationship with Google? The "I'm feeling lucky" redirects to their site.

"I'm feeling lucky" just sends you to the top link of the search results. ABS has no relationship with google, they are just the highest ranked search result for the query.
This has led to google bombs which is essentially linking to a site connected to a particular phrase enough times to have it be the top referral (and thus page shown on "I'm Feeling Lucky.")
There's a couple other ones... (though according to wikipedia, these two here have been changed as a result of a change in Google's policy...)
Aah so...said the blind man, as he hammered with a saw...
Makes sense. I had just figured with Google's weird office culture they directed key phrases to amusing destinations. I'd heard of Google Bombs but didn't make the connection.

On a related note, if you type in "search engine" into Google, google.com only comes up 6th. Weird.
What's a search engine?
It's an old Latin phrase which loosely translated, means "Google."
