Karavshin.org climbs above the fold! (or does it?)

Karavshin.org climbs to the fifth entry on a Google search for 'Karavshin'!

ADDENDUM... a Google Mystery.

RogerFiveOh and 31die both say they do not see karavshin.org listed on the search results page. This is even after confirming the same url, and repeated verifications by all of us. Mysterious how it would be returning different results.

Some data:

Me (Singapore)
From my machine, an nslookup of www.google.com returns 216.239.53.100
When I did a traceroute from here to 'google.com' the request wound up at 'www.google.com [216.239.51.100]'

31die (North San Jose):
Name: www.google.com
Address: 216.239.33.100

RogerLo (City of Angels)
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: www.google.com
Address: 216.239.53.100


My results search give the following urls:


WAIT!

Hell's bells...... it no longer turns up!!!! What the hell is going on here? I was not seeing things... the search worked yesterday. I even copied the results page and emailed it out to people. Good grief. What the hell???
