GOOGLEWHACKING GAINS POPULARITY [Courtesy of Canarie] Googlewhacking -- an offbeat pursuit of bored Web surfers -- is increasing in popularity and spawning its own legion of enthusiasts. The game starts by typing two unrelated words, such as colonoscopy and cockatiel, into Google's search bar, with the goal of obtaining a single result. The challenge is to find two words so disparate that only one match will occur among Google's 3 billion indexed Web pages. The idea originated with Gary Stock, who tracks the trend on his Web site (http://www.unblinking.com/heh/googlewhack.htm). "It used to be people wandered around the Web, but today people find themselves a space and stay there too much," says Stock. "To me, this is a good way to get people to learn."
