So are you through "googling" your name and the names of your family, friends, enemies and ancestors? Looking for the next great time killer? Maybe you should try "Googlewhacking." That's a "game" where you take two disparate words, enter them in the Google search box, and try to get one result. The holy grail of this game is to see the words "Results 1-1 of 1." That's not so easy, especially considering when you type in "bacteria" and "Zamfir," 24 results pop up. The guy who coined the term "Googlewhack" says all he got from the search service was a lousy t-shirt.
