Googlewhacking

Post by starseed_10 »

This is quite possibly the best waste of time ever.

Do a google search for two words, not in quotation marks, and with actual defintions recognized by google.
Your goal is to find a search that returns exactly one result.
read the rules here, then go nuts:

so the idea is to attempt to google two random words that give one, and only one result?

my friends and I found this way back when it first started, so we got a whole bunch of googlewhacks between us.

now it's much harder since it's been around for years and so many have already been found.

And though the hum and sway gets me down

unventuresome chuckawalla!

I don't think unventuresome is in their dictionary, but it is a real word!

none of those three actually qualify. both words have to be linked in the top right of the page (inside the blue bar). but hey, good job.

way too hard :(
you have to, you just have to trust me
whoever i was then i can't ever be again
the faith you've found i've never felt
the terror held in wedding bells
the comfort in "there's no one else"
the truth be told, i'm never going to know
