In the midst of pointing out these really incredible stories (coffee scoop birth control?) and how many times his weblog is found with some strange combinations of words (hot+oiled+man?), Jonathon will now be teaching a course on CSS.

Jonathon, I taught a course on C++ at a college once, and have only one thing to say to you: Hahahahahahahahaha! Boy were you suckered! Hahahahahahahaha!

No, seriously, if your web site is any indication, you’ll do terrific.

As an aside, if you think hot+oiled+man is an interesting search phrase, Stav, the Wonder Chicken is getting hits from the phrase tobaggan+porn. Of course, Stav says this was only a meme test. Yeah, right Stav. Pull the other one.

Of course, you realize that all of our weblogging and Doing a Google and Googlewhacking antics are totally screwing with the heads of the poor Google folks.

“Who the hell would search on Linux and Anemonefish?”

“Well, if you think that’s weird, look at this one: ‘Toboggan and Porn’. Now you tell me, what kind of sick bastard is looking for porn with toboggans!?!”

To which we answer: Webloggers! That’s who!

What I’m finding about Googlewhacking is that it’s truly amazing how many pages are returned for the most bizarre combinations of words. And the really interesting stuff that can return. However, I think we’ll find that I’m not going to be burning up the scoreboards if I stop and actually look at the results.

Take a look at this one, from the Miama Herald – Come on Baby, light my carrot. With writers like Dave Barry, googlewhacking becomes a very difficult task.

You figure out what words I was using to pull up this gem.

Googlewhacking is taking over the country. There’s now a point system and rules and everything, and David Weinberger (aka JOHO, the Blog Faced Boy) is the official googlewhackermeister. And a mention by Ed Yourdan — I’ll have to admit, I’m impressed!

But prizes. Where’s the damn prizes?

What do you give a person who is a champion Googlewhacker? And don’t say “…a life” — we all know webloggers don’t have lives outside the blogs.

Prizes. Prizes. We need googlewhacker prizes! I ain’t giving my brain cells away for just blog buzz — we need prizes!
