The GoogleWack

(this has been going on for a while, keep forgetting to post it.) a GoogleWack is an attempt to find a google search containing only two words (both must be spelled correctly, in a major dictionary, and the search can contain no quotes) that returns only one result. the results are a bizzare string of non-sequitors, almost all of which are great bandname fodder. also, the posting of a GoogleWack often is self-defeating (several have gone from 1 hit to over a hundred in a few weeks, thanks primarily to blogs referencing them), requiring new ones to be found. after several attempts at discovering my own, i'm feeling a little defeated. i mean, who'd think that "christ squeegee" would return over 20k hits?

i can't believe i kept getting so many results for things like:
antonomasia haruspication (58)
moribund autonomasia (33)
apolaustic kyphosis (29)
apodictical turgidity (8)
anthropophagic ululation (6)
not to mention all the obscure pairings that came back with hundreds of hits.

Oo! I found one! But it doesn't comply to rule #3 - result can't be a wordlist. Damn. It was anthropophagic zucchettos.

check back on that last one in a day or two; once a google-bot hits this page, you may have your one result. ;)
