OK, so while googling for “zombie hitler” the other day, I came across [this.](http://bwc.sameperson.net/) It appears to be a game of some sort, made up of a thousand (well, more) cards. Refresh or look at the list to read a bunch of them. There is clearly a system of points involved, and somone named Joe is important, beyond that, I hav no idea. My friend and I are dead set on finding a way to play this intricate game.

My favorite card so far? Hard to say…just too damn many.

Why would you be Googling for “zombie Hitler”? Just curious…

MPSIMS has just lost all meaning for me after seeing those cards.

Looks to be a “game” the same way _Whose Line Is It Anyway?_ is a “game”. I think the main point is to just present a bunch of oddball cartoons, and present game-like “points” or “directions” to add humor.

If I tell you, will you _promise_ to tell us why you were googling for “zombie hitler”?!

Oh, okay…  
You seem to have happened upon a particularly fine example of [1000 Blank White Cards](http://www.geocities.com/nconner23/bwcards.html)

There´s some guys playing it online [here](http://www.principiadiscordia.com/phpBB/viewforum.php?f=7), but personally I like the cards on the first link better. And the one you found. And I´m pretty sure it´s more fun IRL.  
…I´ve been trying to convince my friends, but they´re apparently not weird enough for it.

So, now will you tell us?

universe.zip, I’d play that game. However, my friends suck as well.

Oh, and this is the best:

As a result (ha, I just typed re_slut_ by accident) of hitting refresh so many times, I just found your Zombie Hitler. He was to be kicked in the crotch, IIRC.

You mean to say you’ve never googled??

I just tried “maple altruism” no such luck…

For those with nothing to do at work… Googling consists of typing two word combinations into Google’s search in order to find a combination that yields less that 2 responses.

At least that’s how I’ve heard it.  
Still haven’t come up with one myself.☹

Never heard of ‘hentai’ **Munch**?

**shelsbells13** , you’re probably thinking of the (oh man… what were they calling that… Google-zapping or something) craze of last year. ‘Googling’ itself represents only the act of searching on Google.

Yes, that’s 1000 Blank White Cards. We’ve managed to get a few people (3 at one game; 5 at another) to play it. It’s too freaking fun. Larry Sanders was worth +200, Humpin’ was worth 500, and OMIGOD I STEPPED IN THAT! was -1000. I don’t remember who won. I have a bunch of the cards still laying around here somewhere. Tark is supposed to scan a bunch of them at work so I can put them up to show off. He hasn’t yet.

Zombie Hitler: About 21,400 hits.

21,400 Zombie Hitlers. It should be called boggle, not google, because it just boggles the mind.

Actually, I was merely trying to find a picture of hitler as a zombie, cause, well…that would be the ultimate evil, or something.

Googlewhacking? Hmm. Used to play a game with the google image search where you had to get a whole page with the same picture. Harder than you might think.
