    I went and saw dave gorman in cheltenham on tuesday and he told us about his googlewhacking adventure. It was absolutely brilliant, I laughed so hard! and of course I had to do some googlewhacking when I got back.
    the strangest one I found was squiffy lovejoy.
    So what strange and wonderful googlewhacks can the good people of bit-tech find??

    ooh and i got a "dave whacked my google" badge as well!! :rock:

    EDIT: <-----1111 posts!!!!

    No, it is where there is only one result. both words must be on dictionary.com, and the page cannot be a wordlist.
    If you :search: google then you will find out more. Its a really addictive hobby.

    You have to whack google :p

    Use a search string of 2 dictionary words, and try to only get 1 result, it's getting more difficult now because the words people have found they go and post them on forums that get indexed by google, so when you try the words now you get the original result and the post on the forum :duh:

    Ok bit of a stupid question but would it not be more of a challenge to get no results?

    Edit Mmm just had a think about that and no it probably wouldnt. Sorry!!

    Always one to help out the community. :D

    PS - How about:
    pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis scintilla?
    It doesn't like the first word but Dictionary.com says something about it :D .

    I always thought it was more fun to do 3 words for one result *shrug*

    Still kills a bit o' boredom though :thumb:
