> I agree. I remember one time when I was searching Google for a certain phrase, but typoed one of the words in my hurry. I was surprised I got any results (the typo produced a nonword), but then I read the two-line summary of the one result. The two lines appeared to have been written by someone a few tracks short of a disc.

There's a whole new game which has been created to fully exploit the way in which Google works - Googlewhacking.

The object of the game is to place two real words into Google's search criteria and come up with only one search result. It is devilishly difficult to do - while playing this in Rinkchat, the lowest number of words I got was something like ten. I think it involved the word "Unicyclist".
