Are Google Search Results Going Wacky?

I had heard about a week ago that Google"s search results were throwing off some odd listings, but Navneet Kaushal over at SearchNewz gives more details of what has been happening.

Seems it is not just the titles and descriptions of results that are going awry but even link checks are throwing off wrong answers. Good find guys.

Update: Seems Barry Schwartz had this first.... and articles are very similar.
