I just clicked on your link and "Collision" was number 4 on the list. Then, I clicked it again and it was different!
Seems every time I do it, it changes. Weird. I didn't know it did that...

Yes, I just noticed that too!
It's weird -- it seems to flit about, going from the first page to the second page. I can't figure out what's going on. They can't be tweaking their algorithms *that* frequently, can they?

I seem to recall reading about this on Metafilter.com a while back:
Because Google is actually *several* server farms, placed a various geographic locations throughout the USA and a few other countries, they all have *slightly* different versions of the "master list o'google results." Every few weeks the lists are compared and updated, resulting in what is know as the "Google Dance" wherein repeated searches for the same criteria over a short period of time will result in wildly different results/ratings. You possibly just witnessed a Google Dance, or the fallout from one.

Wow, that's incredibly cool! I'd never heard of that before. I'm going to blog about that right now.
Thanks!
