If you know what "Googlewhacking" is, then you're grinning knowingly...if you don't, prepare to lose the next several days of productivity.

It's simple--go to the Google search engine and type in two random words (no punctuation, and no proper names). The object of the game is to find two words that result in one (and only one) website. That's a "Googlewhack". When I started playing, I discovered that there are some evil cheaters out there who have created special websites that contain Googlewhack words in series on a page...if that comes up as your lone result, it's not a true Googlewhack.

I apologize in advance for ruining your week, but I decided I had to see whether other people out there were fiddling away with this game. Is anyone else playing?

I've never played...but it sounds interesting.

That sounds quite interesting. Can you give us an example so we can see what you are talking about?

The creator's site has a bunch---some funny stuff too:

Oy! I can't get one!!!!!! WAHHH! I've tried and tried! Lord, this is hard!

Rosemary, my husband would like to speak to you about why I don't clean the house or cook any more....

Thanks for a wondrous diversion!!!

(sticking pinkie in side of mouth) Mwahahahaha

I think I probably should stay away from this intelligent source of entertainment...I would never get anything done......

Man, that is hard. I pick two obscure words and put them together and there are tons of links.............

I am not touching this one.

Huh. Never seen this.

Fun!
I just tried "anteater pants", and I can't believe there were multiple hits! This was my favorite (from some children's album):

quote:

Oh, 'Anteater's Pants!' I love the way they used 'Anitra's Dance' from Peer Gynt.

I tried "jackalope velvet" and "doorknob pope" -
both got over 8,000 hits. Who knew?

Getting better.

Curse you, Rosemary!

If I find any less than 100, I'll report.

I found one with only 3 results:

Jeremy! Good going!
