Entry: Googlewhack - A1117658
Author: DMK - U233867

Moved from PR. Nominated and seconded.

This is me putting down a marker.

I want to make some use of this entry, but it may be a little while before I come up something. But I just wanted to declare my intent.


Geggs

I thought you might, what with the Gorman connection and all...

What? Me? Predictable?

Perish the thought.


Geggs

Now, let's just see what that does to the graph...

To be honest, I thought I'd go in another direction with this.

Some in the PR thread suggested making this entry a section in a larger entry on Google games. And I kinda like the sound of the idea.

Which is not to say I'm going to ingore Dave, obviously...


Geggs

Time to get this ball rolling. I've created a new entry at A1322803. At the moment its just the copied text from this entry, and I'll let you know when I've added my own stuff. But....

The entry I'm planning will feature all sorts of Google games. So far I know about: googlewhack, googlefight, googlism, google bombing (though that is more than a game). I'll also put in something on the language tools in Google (like displaying the front page in Elmer Fudd-speak). And a few of those "I'm Feeling Lucky" sillies, like 'french military victories' and 'elgoog'.

Let me know if there is anything I'm clearly missing.


Geggs

I've added in some of my own stuff now. And re-named my entry "Google Games".


Geggs

And now I've put in PR!


Geggs

A bizarre Google thing that I know of - do a Google search for:
Roy Orbison clingfilm

Click on the *second* entry listed.
*Very* strange stories...

I'll have to try it at home. The work system won't let me look at it.


Geggs

Probably quite wise...
