If you have some time on your hands:

Can you think of two reasonably common English words that you can put into google and NOT get a web-page hit containing both words?

Eg: 'brick aardvark' returned this:

aardvark.dj: Just another brick in the
aardvark.dj. ... August 15, 2002. Just another brick in the. Just another
brick in the wall. My old high school burnt down last night. ...

"northpole gonorrea" - no hits.

I remember hearing that the game was about getting as close to one(1) hit as possible?

You spelled Gonorrhea wrong! (see below)

testicles altocumulus is a good one though! Best result I've seen yet!

Daniel is Mr Google!

------------

tubus - not allowed: it is a proper noun, seems to be a brand name. - sorry Kirin!

-------------

Condescendence: good one (but maybe archaic?)

------------

antiestablishmentarianism (not sure if this is a word & anyway is not reasonably common)- Dowding did you mean antidisestablishmentarianism where there are hits with mauve?:

Some of the results are quite amusing. I typed in Spitfire testicles and got this:

Condescendence has a meager 966 hits - please post the single results as well - how about king is the one who gets zero hits with the biggest single sum?

So I am still Mr. Google... ;)
