The true purpose of the internet

womzillaI'm sure most of my readers know of Googlewhacking, the sport of trying to find a combination of two words which return exactly one hit through Google. One can even keep score by multiplying the number of hits the individual words produce. I think the highest score I ever saw way "monophysite linux", which is alas no longer a whack; the sport in general is being degraded by the number of sleazy commercial sites which do dictionary dumps to get more Google hits. However, that was a genuine hit--it was someone describing people who believe that computers should only have one operating system installed.
My own favorite contribution was "brachiating numbat".
Anyway, in a friends-locked post, someone I know just accidentally invented a variant, which he tastefully did not name "Googlewhacking-off". Basically, it's a challenge to find a word which does not eventually yield porn. Inspired by the above-mentioned early Christian heresy, I tried "monophysite porn" and was amazed at the number of hits it got. Even "monophysite bukkake" returns over 200 hits, which really makes me shudder. "Nestorism porn", however, returns no hits at all, so I suspect that's a winner.
Yes, this is why Tim Berners-Lee invented HTML. Thanks for asking.
