 		Google Whacking
Not what it sounds like.

Type two real words into Google to produce 0 search results.

A variation on this is to come up with the realest-sounding word that produces no search results.

Difficulty: as on 5/14/06, "cromulent" actually produces 316,000 results.

 		actually, I believe according to http://www.googlewhack.com/ it is a pair of words which return exactly 1 webpage as a search result.

 		It's a strange game. As soon as you record a googlewhack, it ceases to be one.

 		Is it cheating to put quotes around your "two words"?

 		Although I'm not sure if it counts as a real word or not...supercalifragilisticexpealidocous sunrise only gives one hit. On a related note...would you believe that I spelled that word correctly on my first try. Thank you Mr. Beale (the teacher I had when I won my 4th grade spelling bee)!

Yeah, I think it is. Check the GoogleWhack website for the "official" rules and to submit your own for recognition when you find them.

I remember when googlewhacking first came around, I got on the googlewhack website with my googlewhack, bacteriophage washcloth - now that query shows up 177 results. Sad, huh? Smile
