Anyone for Googlewhack?

[Kesvirit]

The goal is deceptively simple: Enter two words into Google, one of them “Klingon”, and try to get only one hit. It is harder than it sounds.

Rule Number One: Your two Googlefactors must exist in Google's view of this dictionary. Not your view; Google's view! Google does the work, and Google has the final word! In the blue bar atop your Google results, accepted terms are linked, and so appear 'underlined.' No line, no link = Googlejack! (As in, You've got jack, so see the FAQ :-)

Rule Number Two: Google also is the arbiter of a whack's uniqueness. Look to the right end of the blue bar atop your Google results. If you see "Results 1 - 1 of (any number),' you found exactly one hit = Googlewhack!

Rule Number Three: Google shows you an excerpt of the page you whacked. Look at that text. If it's merely a list of words (such as a bibliography, concordance, encyclopedia, glossary, thesaurus, dictionary, domain names, or plain old machine-generated random garbage), No Whack For You!

Additional information and suggestions on optimising the glory of your find can be found here.

I ask that such word warriors as take up this challenge list their words and the site at which they were found. Below are a few examples listed, with the urls in cache form. Anyone ambitious enough to try to find a whack using tlhIngan Hol is reminded to provide translations.

Klingon Jacksonianism --http://72.14.203.104/search?q=cache:zFZgJ0kmRwQJ:ltcmdrmatt.com/fbr/forum/viewtopic.php%3Ft%3D23%26sid%3D0b25dbf91ea528980d5debdaacf1205f+klingon+jacksonianism&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=1&client=safari

And the one I consider to be my personal best: Klingon hexadecaroon -- http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&client=safari&rls=en&q=klingon+hexadecaroon&btnG=Search

Note: Whacks that are initially successful may be undone as the pages to which Google’s spiderbots have access come and go and mutate.  A whack that works today may not work tomorrow, so we’ll work this on the honor system (I expect nothing less from Klinfolk). Be sure of the validity of your objections before challenging someone else’s whack.

Much harder than it seemed at first, perhaps it is a sign of Klingon's and our web presence, but there are very few words that seem to work, I tried some common ones and some lee common ones, most of the hits I got were in the hundreds of thousands.

[ter'eS]

I used to play this quite a bit (yes, I _am_ that busy at work!), not with Klingon but just in general.
But the sport has gotten ruined by the spread of wordlists on the Web.  I can hardly find a word
pair anymore in which at least one word isn't in several @#$%# lists!

While I am new at this, it is my understanding that Rule Number Three excludes things like wordlists, so they don’t count in a given list of hits. Am I mistaken? If so, then I must withdraw my Klingon Jacksonian entry.

Uncommon seems to be a key to success, the less common the better. Technical words look promising... Take a look at the whack stack for suggestions.

I dunno   

Rule Three to me seems to be saying that if you return a single result and it turns out to be just a list of words, you can't count it as a Whack.  The question is, can you score a Whack if you return several results, but only one of them is not a wordlist (in other words, eliminate every hit that is a wordlist, and if only one hit is left, you got a Whack).

    Of course whenever Google reindexes this thread it will invalidate these Googlewhacks.   But fame is fleeting anyway...

    There are all very near GoogleWhacks, but according to the official Googlewhack! validator they don't count.  "Klingon" isn't linked so there is no way for ust to generate an official Klingon Googlewhack.   Obviously Rule one must be modified to allow for this.   But the other word still has to be linked to in the dictionary!

Kesvirt>
 +Klingon+paleopathologies  Google  whacked, but did not link to definitions for both your Googlefactors.  (Fails rule 1)

+Klingon+hexadecaroon Google whacked, but did not link to definitions for both your Googlefactors.  (Fails rule 1)
+klingon +Jacksonianism (4 results contain klingon  Jacksonianism)

    Sheesh this is horribly difficult.   Even Klingon+%2Bpneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis    gets 211 hits.

    On the other paw, seeking the Klingon Googlewhack may lead you to some interesting sites you otherwise would not have thought to find.  I found a klingon mod for Marrowind and an idea for a roleplaying in the star Trek universe only in an all dinosaur universe.   Let us know what you might find.  I'll keep looking later, but that's all I've found so far.

And that, Klinglings, is how you deeconstruct another’s whack!

quoth Klythe: "Klingon" isn't linked so there is no way for ust to generate an official Klingon Googlewhack.   Obviously Rule one must be modified to allow for this.

I thought that was obvious; thus it follows that any whacks would not pass through the official validator. But you do well to remind me that obvious is in the eye of the beholder.

Nevertheless, I stand by my whacks.
Klingon paleopathologies: Paleopathology, the singular form, has the blue bar link
Klingon Jacksonianism: Three of the four results are of the wordlist/dictionary/thesaurus/etc ilk questioned by me and ter’eS regarding Rule Number Three above.
Hexadecaroon is a compound word; compound words can be generated ad infinitum, and most of them never make it into a dictionary.

Since the wily Klythe has defeated my efforts according to the official rules, would the one care to establish a more pragmatic set of rules by which we may search? For that matter, would anyone else?

[Klythe]

You still have the closest hits.   Though if someone gets a GoogleWhack that has the second word passes the validator they get the cookie.   I try when I have time and brains to do it...   Don't forget, you had a headstart...   Anyway the first Klingon GoogleWhack (As whack-y as it can be with the word Klingon on it) is still open.   Maybe one doesn't exist..   But you aren't gunna let her get away with this...    Let's see if we can beat her at her own game.   Though I admit it's frightfully difficult.

[Klythe]

So I know it's three words, but for me, right now Klingon Non-autonomous Sociolinguistics has one hit. 

Klingon voraphilia hits exactly once, but for some reason voraphilia (unnatural elation over eating people) is not a linked word in thier dictionary.  Hmmm.. Why would that be...

    But on the other paw, the Klingon reference is a nice thought to think about. 

"Why O why can we translate the ENTIRE works of Shakespheare into Klingon, but not translate World History from other countries into English so us Americans aren't so stupidly ignorant all the time? (Food for thought) ~Zeo"
