You know you'll go blind if you keep doing that!
But Mom, all the other kids are doing it! That's right, folks, we're talking about Googlewhacking -- the wackiest web craze since blogrolling.
The general idea of Googlewhacking is that you want to find a two-word query that only returns one result using Google. You can read all about the finer points at Unblinking.com's "Googlewhacking: The Search for 'The One'"
While I'm on the topic of Google, let me take a digressive moment to pile on the already crowded bandwagon of Google fans. For pure search-engine goodness, you just can't beat 'em. The indexed database is huge, the results are fast, the interface is clean, and the ads are unobtrusive. Beyond that, they offer cool extras, like the Google toolbar, news search, holiday logos, and the Google Zeitgeist. My wife loves them.
So anyway, after a few minutes of trying different queries, I got what looked like a Googlewhack, but was just a false alarm. "Frigorific flagella" only returned one result, but that was just a list of words (not kosher according to the arbiters of whacking). So, just a little disappointed I continued for another couple minutes and came up with "postprandial gyration" -- a new after-dinner dance, I suppose.
For more fun with Google, try making your own impromptu Internet art exhibit. Create your own gallery of photos, paintings, and drawings, summoned from the bowels of the Internet based on your capricious query whims.
For double the pleasure and double the fun, create a Googlewhack art exhibit. "Considerate zombies" sadly didn't conjure up undead butlers, but it did only return one image. Other Image Googlewhacks include: spendthrift chorus, highbrow mullet, prurient aardvark, and perspicacious chicken. Unfortunately, none of these produces sufficiently amusing results. If you find a good one, please let me know.
Go Nutty!
