http://googlism.com is a fun site. You search for things, and get amusing definitions resemblant of what a google spider might say. You might start by googlizing yourself, your friends, your hometown. Here are some clippings from some searches I made:
Googlism for: tim mann
tim mann is a graphical user interface for chess
Googlism for: eric yeh
eric yeh is the supreme overload of esuc submitted on
Googlism for: alexh
alexh is working hard on stuff because i told him too
Googlism for: bnc
bnc is a great venue for family & community gatherings and kids' parties
bnc is a lot more rugged
bnc is setup for you automatically
Googlism for: sir col
sir col is immodest
Googlism for: maryl
maryl is quite a good oar boat guide
maryl is down with a "sick headache" after our call last night
Googlism for: towr
towr is either ascii ``pbm'' for subtypes of rawbitmap or ascii ``ppm'' for subtypes of rawpixmap
towr is burried under ground
Googlism for: dh
dh is down major big time *boink* posted by jude at august 7
dh is on his way here lol
Googlism for: icarus
icarus is composed of asynchronous parts
icarus is expected to begin collecting data in 2002
Googlism for: arab sheikh
arab sheikh is old and must will his fortune to one of his two sons
Googlism for: berkeley
berkeley is hip in a funky and laid back way
berkeley is approximately $45
Googlism for: stanford
stanford is situated 15 minutes from the best whale watching spots in africa
stanford is short for "standard for forestry data and communication"
stanford is your downfall
and my favorite:
Googlism for: willywutang
willywutang is hanging out on a heavily forested island that's really narrow
willywutang is organizing a mix tape for his overseas sweetheart
Note: Unfortunately the google spider tends to miss YaBB forum webpages because they don't belong to a particular set of file extensions, so our little forum community isn't as popular as I think it should be -- which is too bad considering how much education is packed in these pages! But hopefully we will become better known in time ...

I wonder what this means:
towr is the descending form building function of the christ
ah well, at least:
towr is usually faster where it is appropriate
