ABC, 123, Lucky Me

For no reason in particular, I decided to go to google and enter each letter of the alphabet (lowercase a,b,c,...,z) and each single digit (0,1,2,...,9) and hit the "I'm Feeling Lucky™" button. In case you don't know:

The "I'm Feeling LuckyTM" button automatically takes you to the first web page returned for your query.

An "I'm Feeling Lucky" search means less time searching for web pages and more time looking at them.

As expected, many of the pages returned were wikipedia entries, especially for the numbers. There were a few surprises, including a non- Oprah result for 'o', and a relatively new google service for '1'. If there's any interest in this little experiment, I may go back through and list the first non-Wikipedia results.

Here are the results for each search:
