Yup. I've got it, and even more bizzare errors (I've even managed to get "We're sorry but the error page your looking for has wandered off"

That's not an error, it's a feature. When you do a lot of queries, for some "suspesious" content (definition of which varies), Google would randomly block you off for a bit.

I've had that happen before with Google, on Yahoo as well. You just need to reset your IP, or wait a couple of minutes.

Yeah, during the time phpBB sites were getting attacked a lot (with that A.Worm or w/e), if you searched for 'phpBB' you would have gotten that error. Though, there never used to be a captcha.
