Not sure I understand your comment "Even if MSN+Yahoo immediately became the next Google, $47B right now would buy Google's earnings for 6 years. Why take such large risks for such normal returns?"

You consider that a "normal" return. If you can get cash back in 6 years on a company buy-out, thats absolutely phenomenal. You might not have considered the fact that, the cash flow after 6th year onwards also stays with you only as a buyer and that too for ever. And that is all gravy since you have recovered your investment in 6 years.
