This entertaining and often hilarious site has replaced my former favourite Googlewhack. Most visitors to the Googlism site seem to search for either their name (Who) or a fairly narrow range of words that are predictably 'smutty'. So, if you have no imagination, you will have to click the link and see, because I don't want my lovely blog to turn up in searches for those words! To give you an idea, and keeping it clean, I have searched the What? page for 'Italian'. It wasn't my first choice, but apparently Googlism doesn't know enough about 'Italian Charms' yet. I am sure that it's only a matter of time. I got about 85 results, but I trimmed the obvious duplicates for your further edification. When you visit, I recommend searching for your name. It's like a surreal 'auto-meme', and can be both surprising and spooky. If you do, please pop back and post your top 5 results in the comments - I am intrigued to see what comes up!

Adelaide is doing pretty well to be up and and 100! It's a real bit of fun, I could spend far too long messing around on there, and I probably will.
I think I broke googlism :( All it gave for my name was:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /usr/dbs_share/www/shared/include/googlism.com/private/googlism.inc on line 41
And told me that google doesn't know enough about me yet... which is strange because if I put my name in google and hit "I feel lucky" - there I am!
Or perhaps it's not broken t all, but just trying to make you feel more comfortable with a bit of code that only a geek could love? ;D
I keep getting that message, "Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /usr/dbs_share/www/shared/include/googlism.com/private/googlism.inc on line 41", same as the bloke mentioned above.
I wonder if they still make money off the ads there, despite the brokenness of it all. :)
Right underneath that error, you will see 'Googlism doesn't know enough about..' and whatver our seach was for. But it you change the search term, say in Andy Alkaline's case to 'Andy', you get something worth looking at: http://www.googlism.com/index.htm?ism=Andy&type=1. You know how people sometimes type LOL, well this result is LTIC* :)
