Yes. Google walmart "moving pennies" and click on the first result

Please don't use google as a reference. Please, when you want to make a reference, use anything else.

The first two results are to hacker news (this page!) and after that the results are to pages about penny stocks.

I know my google-fu is worthless but I can at least follow directions, and it still comes up with nothing.

To be honest, I think he was making a joke about the HN post being its own reference, although I'm not too sure...
I was trying to illustrate that telling someone to google for references when they already indicated that it was unsuccessful, is not likely to be successful.
