01/04/2008 00:02 1547 Google Gives me Candles with Adwords Ads
Today I noticed something unusual. A user wrote in to our IT helpdesk regarding a problematic fax machine, and happened to mention the "corona wire," something I'd not heard of before. So I Googled for "corona wire". And when I did, the Adwords text ads that appeared were accompanied by a vertical line of candles:

Adwords with Candles


I've never seen this behavior before, and attempts to locate other search terms that wind up with the candle display have been devoid of results. What do these candles mean, and are there other interesting banners that appear on seemingly boring searches?
