It gets better and better. First on my list for my next edition of Strange Search Terms is one I received today: “map of where most of the germans live in germany”. Things that make you go, “Hmmm…..” LOL

This would have been a good exercise for my English students in what it takes to get where you want to go. Oh, I think we called that something like “syntax.”

Thanks for a good hoot!

The above link is from my friend Maciej’s blog – obviously in Polish. He decided to do the same thing with the search terms for his blog. Now, I don’t read Polish very well, so I ran his page through Google Translate. If you thought the search terms were funny, you ought to see how funny the “translation” is!

Thanks for the chuckle! I should look at the search terms people use to get to my blog. I haven’t done that in a long, long time. Or maybe I should wait till I’m having a bad day and I need a good laugh… I’ll bet there will be some good ones!

Hi Donna,

I like to look at these kinds of search terms too…I always wonder what these people were thinking.

At least until I found myself typing a bizarre search term into Google the other day as weird as those you wrote about. I should have analyzed what was going on in my head when I wrote it, but I have the feeling nothing was going on in there at the time…I think that was the problem.

A very funny post…as usual!
