A friend of mine from the dorms and I used to play a game. The rules of the game were thus: 1) you had to be in Google search engine. 2) you could use two and only two words. 2.5) words can be anything that doesn't get spellchecked by google 3) that means no "quotes" or +pluses or -minues or anyhting like that. 4) You could only get one result back. 5) things on the same page don't count (you know pgp.com and pgp.com/sepecific.html are counted as one hit) For example, at the time of writing this, the search : monkeypants compacts would be a "winner". ... now, to be fair, 1) no posting answers you have until one of the researchers answer the question (what if it makes more hits for that search!!). 2) researchers can't lock in the question until they have ... lets say 10 of 'em that they can plunk down right then and there (otherwise this wouldn't be a game!). 3) no repeating yourself excessively - you can't have squirrel hat and squirrel happy and squirrel smile, for example. 4) may the best man/woman win!!! P.S. My friend and I got pretty good. I can usually find a winner in less than 10 hits, garunteed. Here's a few tricks: 1- get a really bizaare word; like monkeypants and a really normal, totally unrelated word; like compact. You get 6 results. Play around with the common word by adding pre- and suffixes. ... like -s (compacts) 2- No results suck. BOO!!! If you get those, the likely means youre on the right track, though. Maybe try a differant common word?? 3- peanut butter is two words - that's what google says. monkeypants is one word, google doesn't say otherwise. Of course, Tavatak is a word under those defanitions, too (but no webpage has the word "Tavatak" on it) - see...it's a balance. | |

bellybutton19... I'll play! Sure, there *are* websites that have listed them for you, but, as you pointed out, that's no fun! To find those sites with ready-made lists to pick from, just do a search on 'googlewhack': ://www.google.com/search?q=googlewhack The following were found the hard way...by trial and error, and, as you noted, it was a fun break from the usual kind of research we do: googlewhack papert ://www.google.com/search?q=googlewhack+papert niedert manhunter ://www.google.com/search?q=niedert+manhunter mannekin manohar ://www.google.com/search?q=mannekin+manohar languescent mohair ://www.google.com/search?q=languescent+mohair rapscallion hurdlers ://www.google.com/search?q=rapscallion+hurdlers nincompoop hypsiprymnodon ://www.google.com/search?q=nincompoop+hypsiprymnodon hypophyseal steatonecrosis ://www.google.com/search?q=hypophyseal+steatonecrosis cervicothoracic cherdrodermatitis ://www.google.com/search?q=cervicothoracic+cherdrodermatitis icteric kinesitherapy ://www.google.com/search?q=icteric+kinesitherapy translarian companions ://www.google.com/search?q=translarian+companions I think you'll find that they satisfy your guidelines, but if not, just let me know where I let you down, and I'll be glad to modify the list accordingly.

I love your 'whacky' imagination, sublime1! I can hear Julie Andrews, as Mary Poppins, singing "Hypophyseal steatonecrosis, even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious..." |
