I was thinking about numerical sequences, and at what point will Google provide no search results. Here’s what I found so far - no results for the following: “Rocky LXXXI” “Snow White and the eighteen dwarfs” “World War LVIX” “forty first dimension” Of course by doing this, once this page is indexed these answers won’t be relevant anymore… What other ones can you come up with? ---

vnazvoozasx “unfortified beech” This is too easy if you use quotes, and probably impossible if you don’t (except with made up letter strings like my first example). True [Googlewhacking](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Googlewhack) used to be fun (possible, but hard enough to interesting), back in the day, but, with the growth of the web and Google’s more “flexible” algorithms, I doubt if it is really possible, in practice, to find true Googlewhacks any more. ---

Strangely enough, none of them (first three pages anyway) seem to go anywhere near Rule 34. Is this a sign of the End Times? I think the point is to put the word pair in quotes, to find those two words _adjacent_ to one another (and in that order). In this case, however “broccoli rectum” in quotes still gets 7 (not 7.7m!) hits (although the first one is this very thread). The way Google and the web is now, two random but real words _not_ in quotes (such that a page will be returned if includes them both anywhere in it)\* are pretty much guaranteed to return plenty of hits. ¬¬¬¬¬¬¬ \*Actually, I think the way the Google algorithm works now, without quotes, if it can’t find a page with both words, it will start returning pages with either, or even with related but not identical words. These days it returns what it thinks you want, not what you ask for. ---

Strangely enough, none of them (first three pages anyway) seem to go anywhere near Rule 34. Is this a sign of the End Times? As a single phrase, instead of links that have broccoli, or rectum, or the words broccoli and rectum not next to each other? ---

“Futzencrumb” (the sound a leprechaun makes when he discovers that someone used his pot 'o gold as a latrine) brings up, as the sole hit, [a thread from here from 4 years ago](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/archive/index.php?t-544810.html), when I used the word in a similar thread.
