No this thread isn’t a game. It’s a thread about a game. The challenge is to find a search term that will return just one result. Not two, not none, but one. Anyone heard of this? Anyone know a search term that will do this? And while we’re on the subject of google does anyone have a link to that gooogle-talk thing. That thing is fun. ---

I thought googlewhack had something to do with googling yourself. ---
