Odd eBay advert - Buy Google.com!

Hi,

I appear to have an advert for eBay (it's eBay UK so int. visitors probably can't see it) on an AdSense block. It seems to take the form of the ones that appear in search results (ie. Buy [search terms] on eBay!).

The main issue is that it wants me to buy Google.com? Do you think this is a joke by someone else or are Google's algorithms being a bit stupid?

I'm personally not sure because I don't really focus on AdSense all that much.

I've uploaded a screenshot to my site: http://mpwebwizard.com/blog/buy_google_com

Where does that take you to if you click on it? What's the eBay page...?

Apparently Ask Jeeves is also for sale. I saw this one on 2 December 2006 (can't remember what search term I had entered):
