I have discovered, via Coralie, that there is a brilliant new way to lollygag. You spend your time on the internet "Googlewhacking". Apparently, Googlewhacking, is when you put 2 unrelated words into the Google search engine and see what results you get. If only 1 result is returned then you have a Googlewhack which apparently you can claim as your own and register it with Google!! How sad is that???
I had one go because I thought it would be easy. My 2 words which I thought of while driving in the car with Coralie were: elephant and jodhpurs. EASY......... It didn't work, there were 10,500 results!!! Anyway, it would seem there are thousands of people out there who like to use Googlewhacking as their preferred method of lollygagging. What ever turns you on, I suppose.
If you want a go there is a web site dedicated to it: www.googlewhack.com Also worth a look is: www.davegorman.com/googlewhack.htm
On looking at the Googlewhack web site to see what words have acheived Googlewhack status, I can see that you need to be a bit more inventive than elephant and jodhpurs. The latest Googlewhack is: stool crudiness!!! I didn't know crudiness was a word.
Anyway, there you go. I challenge you all to come up with an even more pointless way to lollygag.
