Googlewhacking

A couple weeks ago, when I didn't have a compelling book to read at night, I was watching The Tonight Show and Jay had on this English dude who is supposed to be the master googlewhacker. Now googlewhacking is when you try to find two words that when you search with these two words in Google, you will only end up with one result. For some ideas check the official(?) googlewhacking web site. So I have found myself, on occasion, when I have a free minute or two googlewhacking and I can see where this could become more addictive the more often that I do it! (By the way, I just got my first googlewhack -- with the help of JD -- the two words are "epistemological" and "lanyard.")

So THIS is what happens when you and JD put your heads together :) Oh man, what a pair.

The ironic thing is that by posting this google whack....it is no longer a google whack. Which poses the paradox. Can a google-whack ever be posted....and be a true google-whack?



BTW, maybe I'm doing it wrong but I tried your words...and it didn't work for me.

I think you have a broken google-whack...or maybe I shouldn't be googling anything (especially whacks)
