Two words: ashplant clippingsOf course, by the very act of revealing these words, their potency will disappear within a finite amount of time, as the Google engine slouches toward our LUSENET Bethlehem to spawn its unholy second child.

Such a lovely pair: folkways mucilage

Hey! This is fun: eviscerate bushbabies

What in the hell is going on here?LN, you really should share some of that with the rest of the class or at least moi : )

Cap'n, according to Lars' linked story, the Googlewhacking game is to do a Google search on a pair of words (such as "Borking Polynesians") and have only one web page as your search result. I've been posting some successful examples.
-- Little Nipper (canis@minor.net), February 12, 2002.
Would you believe a search on "farinaceous marginalia" is worth two web pages?
-- Little Nipper (canis@minor.net), February 12, 2002.
LN, I think some other googlewhacker must have beat you to it :-)

Ah! But I am the sole discoverer of "antediluvean dribble"!
-- Little Nipper (canis@minor.net), February 13, 2002.
I got this response : Your search - polysomnographic drivel - did not match any documents.Suggestions:
Make sure all words are spelled correctly. Try different keywords. Try more general keywords. Try fewer keywords.
Of course it would now be a googlewhack, right? ;-)
-- Tricia the Canuck (jayles@telusplanet.net), February 14, 2002.
You should have tried "carmelized isotopes", Trish. Less waiting around.
-- Little Nipper (canis@minor.net), February 14, 2002.
I also lay claim to "pusillanimous whelps".Google perfidiously showed that two web pages contained this pair, but further investigation proved that one of them (an 80-odd page PDF) did not actually contain the word "whelps" within it. Oh, traitorous search engine, mend thyself!
-- Little Nipper (canis@minor.net), February 14, 2002.
It is my lucky day. Googlewhacks are breaking out all over. As Google is my witness, "tangential polychromatism" is another bankable winner.
-- Little Nipper (canis@minor.net), February 14, 2002.
LN, methinks thou art easily entertained.
-- (a@a.a), February 14, 2002.
Easily entertained? You've hit your head on the nail! And speaking of cheap entertainment: mooncalf forgeries.If you are out for something a bit more literate, you might find some rather dry entertainment at Ask A Drunk, although a poofter named XStatic Peace has only just appeared and brought down the tone of the place in less than 24 hours.
-- Little Nipper (canis@minor.net), February 14, 2002.
The words "lachrymose fondue" gave good results. One legit hit and one one pesky wordlist web page - the plague of the dedicated Googlewhacker.
-- Little Nipper (canis@minor.net), February 14, 2002.
Lachrymose fondue?!? Cooking with tears? Now where's the appeal in that?

Solipstic dirt
-- Tricia the Canuck (j@t.n), February 19, 2002.
Congrats! Although "solipsistic dirt" netted 299 hits.
-- Little Nipper (canis@minor.net), February 19, 2002.
What, now you want me to spell correctly too??? ;-)
-- Tricia the Cnauck (jayles@telusplanet.net), February 24, 2002.
'Your search - "psychopathic business leaders" - did not match any documents.'This one I found quite by accident!
-- Tricia the Canuck (jayles@telusplanet.net), July 10, 2002.
Tricia, without the quotation marks and you get 2370 hits.
-- (lars@indy.net), July 11, 2002.
I was looking for an article someone told me about that claimed an extraordinary number of top business leaders were psychopathic. I didn't find it, or anything else. Quite a surprise ;-)
