Google adds major libraries to its database

<span style="color: lightblue">When they say they want to make information easily accessable, they sure aren't joking...

Google, I love you! [img]tongue.gif[/img]


On a completely unrelated note, am I the only one that sees the messages all screwy?

<span style="color: lightblue">How do you mean 'all screwy'? Which messages? You mean the ZDNet talkback? If so, they work fine for me...

No, here on Ironworks. They're all stretched and messed up on my comp.

[img]graemlins/doh.gif[/img] It's pretty obvious though.Type in any two words - but just two, not less, not more - into the Google search engine, and if you get only ONE result, you've got a Googlewhack. Some other rules are: don't use any quotation marks, use only words that are in the dictionary and if your result is just a list of words it doesn't count.

Here are some confirmed Googlewhacks:
swaddled flamboyancy
beetroots immunologist
yellowest lederhosen

Googlewhack is a sport (although I hesitate to call it a sport) in which you do a search for 2 different words and try to result in finding only 1 website. The words must be in the english dictionary and you can not use quote marks. I blame googlewhacking for a large distraction during my high school years :D

EDIT: But Mel just explains it so much better.
