what is the googlizer?

The following site explains the Googlizer:

Also this site offers an explanation:

http://packages.debian.org/testing/gnome/googlizer.html

"This is a very simple and very handy utility that just spawns the
configured GNOME browser with a Google search on whatever you have in
the X clipboard (whatever you last selected). It's not even an applet,
just a program with a launcher that's nice to put on the panel - drag
it there from the menu. It also includes support for a command line
option -u/--url, to specify an alternative URL to which the search
should be appended before opening."

Good luck with the pizza!

that's a pretty good answer but not much more than I got from Google
in the first place.
It was explained to me as a mythical beast that lived on the web. You
would put in any word and it would re-jig it in some special way. Bear
in mind that my friend who explained it to me was very stoned and
couldn't make sense so we thought we'd ask the internet....

thanks for your help

Pistol Pete,

Perhaps, rather than "Googlizer," your stoner friend was thinking of
the amusing site called "Googlism." Here you can enter a name or a
word, and "find out what Google.com thinks of you, your friends or
anything." The results are often funny and thought-provoking. just the
sort of thing that will make people say "Oh, wow, man" while waiting
for God's deliverance, or pizza delivery, or whatever.
