Why do people think my login name in Karl?

Nice. :smiley:

You know this would be a Googlewhack if it weren’t for that proper name thingy.

Nope, can’t use quotes for a Googlewhack.

Googling “kel varnsen” yields more results than does “kal varnsen.” Which is correct? :dubious:

Forgive my ignorance but what is a “googlewhack?”

A googlewack is when you can come up with two and only two true words that yield only one google result. I don’t think that proper names actually count. Googlewack is a web site that records these feats. I got mine with “madril” and “piggyback”.

Sorry, googlewhack is he correct spelling.

Interesting. Thank you. I’d like to try something but I just know that a moment of idle experimentation will turn into a fevered obsession.

I assume that in order to officially register them they need to be real words and not just nonsense sequences? Do they have to be English?

So, does this mean I got one on my 3rd try?

Yep. You better register it before I post those words on my web site and kill your googlewhack.

Ehh…go ahead. I just wanted to see how long it would take me to do it. I’m not really interested in registering anything.

It was kind of fun though. So, thanks for the idea on how to kill my bored down time at work. :smiley:

I, too, have thought of lots of things to call him, especially after that thread about yelling at babies, but suppose we take a shot at answering his question.

I think it’s his handle. Kel Varnsen. Two strange names put together. I’d say that many people subconsciously mix some of those letters around into something more familiar to them. Karl is a lot more common to most English or German speakers than either Kel or Varnsen.

I have a solution for you, Kyle: Whenever you see Karl on the screen, just cover it with whiteout. Problem sol-ved.

You’ve given me an idea:

Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl Karl

There, if he can’t see the screen, he can’t post.

Gee, that looked like a lot more Karls in the text box that it turned out to actually be…

Actually, another rule from the googlewhack page is:

Looks like that’s what your hit is.

Nice try.

But we should be so lucky.

blah blah blah Karl blah blah blah blah yada yada Karl yada yada blah Karl blah blah blah blah Karl

Or if you like, the ‘add to ignore list’ button… it might be a bit less hard on your computer screen than whiteout. :slight_smile:

I can’t see anything in this thread beyond a blatant “look at me some more” stab at attention. It’s not amusing, Kel. Knock it off. This board is not here to validate you. Either play nicely or leave.
