Happy coincidences. Lawrence J. Pope is Halliburton's VP of Human Resources and Administration. Also, Google Finance factors in blog posts in the search results; more than one blogger out there has used the term "douche bag" in a post about Tyco or "hatred" in a post about Fox News. That said, it still makes me giggle.

This reminds me of when people made a big deal about how the MS Word thesaurus would respond "I'll drink to that" if you put in "I'd like to see Bill Gates/the Jews/the Blacks dead."

If you want to take a few good words like thieves and make something good out of them, take a look at the words used in the company summary field and use them to write up something amusing. For instance: This security company's hackers introduced worms inside the network. Thieves!
