Cure for boredom

Bored? Play the Google Game. Here's how it works: choose combinations of two words at random and type them in to the Google search field. The object is to find a combination of two words that yeilds EXACTLY ONE hit. Go on; it's harder than you think. Prize for the first one to do it.

Right, so I never leave two comments in the blog of someone I've just met, but for this I will make an exception.

I did that with someone I know last year. We hit the jackpot with "Ostrogoth" and "Shpagin". For the record, the latter is a real word; It's the commonly used name for the PPSh41, a sub-machine gun used by the Soviets at the end of the Second World War. It was named for Georgii Shpagin, who led the design team that created it.

...I really don't want to do this essay.

Well, no choice I suppose. Have a good night.
