LONDON, England (Reuters) -- A Web site lampooning the United States' inability to locate weapons of mass destruction in Iraq has become one of the biggest hits on the Internet.

The site, which is designed to look like a genuine error message -- replete with "bomb" icon -- is the top result when "weapons of mass destruction" is entered into one of the Web's top search engines, Google.com.

And despite being five months old -- a real veteran by Internet standards, the site is more popular than ever and is attracting over a million hits a week.
