Trying To Cheer Up; or, Wuthering Behaviour Snorkel

Jan 08, 2009 21:16

Long before I'd ever heard of a Googlewhack, I periodically entertained myself by entering semi-random terms into search engines. We've all done that, right? So, last night when I was trying to cheer myself up, I googled:

baltar crevice menthol

which yielded only one result, which seems pretty reasonable. (This is not a legitimate Googlewhack since my search string contains more than two words. I honestly can't tell if Googlewhack's rules disqualify "Baltar" because that name does appear at answers dot com. In any case, I don't claim "Baltar crevice menthol" as a Googlewhack.)

What perplexes me is that there are so many hits for searches such as:

wuthering behaviour snorkel

which got "about 1,530" Google results.

Google also told me that, to my dismay,

cattywumpus mucilage

got no hits. That might be a perfect Googlewhack if it existed. But since it doesn't exist, it's not.

This search, with the quotation marks exactly as shown,

"lindsay lohan" auxiliary narthex emblazoned

got nothing, but I'm pleased to announce that

"lindsay lohan" opcode narthex

--again, with quotation marks around Lindsay Lohan--received one and only one hit. Once again, it goes against Googlewhack rules, but I think it's close enough for me.

That cheered me up a little.
