"Wikipedia is the top result on Google, the site that the most links point to from elsewhere on the web"
Someone seems to have claimed recently that the top ranking of everything on Google is Wikipedia:

The problem is, it seems to be a rather impressively flawed claim, for example:
http://google.weblogsinc.com/entry/1234000260061718/
(Incidentally, the *+* search now seems to not work - it was displaying much odder results earlier in the day. I tend towards the "weird glitch in google" rather than the "sekrit underlying hierarchy of teh web revealed" theory...)
