The most authoritative site on the web....

[brooksmoses]

Google's searches now allow wildcards. If you enter * *, you get the most general possible search, given that a single * returns nothing.

Now, in theory, what this should give is everything on the internet, in order of raw PageRank. At the top of the list, according to the theory, will be the most popular, most highly-regarded, most authoritative sites in existence.

Currently, the most authoritative site in existence is the MBTA Subway schedule.

My understanding is that Google has several never-quite-identical databases - they aren't doing real-time data replication. You get a random server, which hits a random database, which may or may not return identical hits to someone else. This looks like it may be one of the few cases where you can actually tell the difference!
