# Googlewhacking!
I like that..

The best one I've found so far is furtive penguins abhor magic

# my one
is far too long ... heroic octagonal fighting beast wolf of the gentry,

but I think it is quite good.
The actual returned site however, is not good.

# I bow down before thee
I'm not ready for those dizzy "two word" heights just yet. Think I'll have to work up to it.

I do think, though, that there should be a subcategory for googlewhacks that form a short sentence...

# One word, one result
And it's a bit obvious

# sorry. that breaks the rules
as it isn't in the dictionary. (although antidisestablishmentarianism isn't in dictionary.com either...)

# micturating marmot
seems to do it -
the only page returned is the 'M' section of a dictionary sadly.

# good stuff
google whacking is addictive. BTW: I used to try and use search engines to tell the future. I'd point in two outcomes (she loves me, she doesn't love me) and see which would get the higher count. Didn't actually work. This googlemancy.

# Genius!
I am currently wondering whether I should take voluntary redundancy or not. I'll just let google decide.

I'll try putting in something like "take voluntary redundancy" and "stay with this company" and abide by whatever has the most hits.

Do you think those phrases are about even odds in googlemancy. I don't want to force google towards one path?

# Google is inherently negative
I think I've found a flaw in Googlemancy. Google has a negative streak - if you search for "yes" you get 30.9m results, which is all well and good - but as soon as you put No into the great Google you get 265m results showing a negativity ratio of 8.58. Still tells me I should quit my job though, so can't be all wrong...

# Maybe you shold phrase the questions without using postives/negatives
"I stay with my job" vs. "I will take a new job"

# Yay
Google still tells me I should get a new job. You might be onto something here!
