Don’t forget to register your whacks on the whackstack. I am Number 1 right now. 😃 Put your location as SDMB and lets see if we can clog up that top 10!

When I heard of this game a while ago, it was finding two words that bring up exactly _ **two** _ pages. Much more challenging, IMHO.

Still looking, but I did manage to stumble across [this](http://joyce.eng.yale.edu/~bt/school/report.cgi/seldom/won.htm) website.

Really answers a lot of questions, doesn’t it?

Hmmm, I had little trouble bringing up two pages for a lot of the combinations I tried.

_cues synchronicity music_

I was trying to find more. I was falling back on the good old magic chimichanga.

I tried “chimichanga minutiae”

Check out the fourth result for that search.

Got one:

Lingonberry zoroastrianism

I found one other — hypermixolydian zoroastrian — pretty much off the bat, but [dictionary.com](http://dictionary.com) doesn’t recognize “hypermixolydian” (a musical mode.)

Speaking of music: **chimichanga syncopation** (1).  
I too, have developed a **chimichanga fixation** (2). What is that \*\*chimichanga effluvium \*\* (1) around here?

There were several reports of **chimichanga kleptomania** (6) and an equal number of **chimichanga phobias**.  
There are only 2 instances each of a \*\*chimichanga lobotomy \*\* and a **chimichanga tonsillectomy**.  
Picking a theme: **chimichanga placenta** (8); **chimichanga ovary** (4); **chimichanga fallopian** (2); **ectopic chimichanga** (1).  
**Chimichanga hematoma** (1) is not a widespread problem: only 1 hit.  
**Chimichanga eczema** and \*\*chimichanga psoriasis \*\* are also problems that concern only 1 site; though there are 67 reports of **itchy chimichanga**.  
There is only 1 **schizoid chimichanga** , but there are 197 **paranoid chimichanga** s. Though, 4 hits is entirely 4 hits too many for **chimichanga psychosis**.  
There are 256 reports of **anal chimichanga** ; but only 5 **chimichanga proctologist** s on call.  
3 hits for **chimichanga microcosm** ; but only 1 for **chimichanga macrocosm**.  
3 hits for **Hippocratic chimichanga** ; not to be outdone by **Socratic chimichanga** : 1.  
1 hit for **chimichanga fraternization**.

Good word, **Jeff**!

Dave Gorman, the man who found 54 people in the world with his name and met them, wrote a book about his [Googlewhack Adventure](http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0091891965/qid=1093111477/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl/026-3909381-3086012). Basically, he found googlewhacks and tried to build up a chain of meeting the owners of the websites, and them finding googlewhacks. Very funny book, but I think this man might be a slight fruitcake (or _eccentric_ as we brits would say 😛 ).

Anyway, I don’t have a googlewhack to add, so I will hasten to the exit from the thread and trouble you no more until I have one.
