Got weird error trying to access www.google.com.
Co-worker helped me figure out this was Verizon's 'DNS Assistance' messing up.

Tried their 'opt out' option. Visiting a non-existent domain brings up an incredibly lame error page. The page you see below is HTML copy/pasted from the standard Internet Explorer page (including image references to 'C:\...'), with some Verizon links slapped on the end of it. Wow.
What the heck?
I switched to 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2, but there are plenty of other public DNS providers. This is kinda funny since 4.2.2.1 is also a Verizon server, but it doesn't have this annoying 'helpful' feature.
