Has anyone ever played Google-whack before? It's a fun and simple game. Just go to google.com and punch any two random words into the search engine.

Normally, you will get results that say something like "Results 1-10 of 154,000" If you can find two words that bring a search result showing "1 of 1," (meaning google found just one page on the Internet with those two words on it) then Congratulations! You get to shout "GOOGLE-WHACK!!"

So, try it with Legion related words and terms.

Can you get a google-whack?

I got it!!

It only took me about twenty minute, but the combination of Imra [SaturnGirl] and Doubleheader [DoubleHeader] yielded a 1 of 1. It look like some sort of fanfic for a Japanese cartoon ro something.

Dull day... so I got another with "Dracksler" (home planet of Hate-Face) and "Braino" (The most noble being of all time).

I think one reason for the difficulty of this game is the plethora of Legion fansites and articles over the years.

Another is the Google doesn't only give results with both words, it will also include results with either word. So how do you trim results so that you get only pages with both words?
