Dammit Lord Majestic. That was exactly what I was thinking reading through the post... But who knows. I can guarantee you there is a reason and some kind of logic behind those pages showing up.

Another is that .COM is the most universal extension if you want a single site to do international business. Although most .com's are likely registered and operating out of the US, many do business elsewhere in the world.

My guess is if Google only displayed .co.uk sites, then people would be complaining because the SERPs would read "Results 1 - 10 of about 237 for random search term". How much fun would that be?
