Googlewhacker

[Will McGugan]

Hi folks,

Has anyone seen 'Googlewhack Adventure'?

http://www.davegorman.com/googlewhack.htm

I wrote a script to generate Googlewhacks - thought I'd share it with
you. I'd better stop running it as I fear Google may ban my IP for
making 20 searches a seconds..

They actually won't ban your IP for this. They only limit your number
of searches per day. I discovered this once when I used
http://www.google.com as a test metric for my network monitoring
program. I do like your script though.
