I just heard of a process called "googlewhacking". The game is to type in two totally unrelated words and see if you can get one single hit. I understand they have about 250,000 entries already.

Just tried it for the first time -- I could probably spend way too much time doing this...
My first attempt -- persnickety bazooka. 46 hits, not even close!
One question -- does the act of posting your googlewhack on the site eventually have it wind up in the Google search database, thus rendering it invalid? (2 hits now)

I typed in " creation science " and got 4,480,000 hits..
We need to have entries for the ' most ' hits on two totally unrelated words...

I'm rather upset, I found one where there was only one search result and both words were listed at dictionary.com, but it told me one of the words wasn't listed. I even clicked on the links googlewhack provided to look on dictionary.com and both words were listed. Stupid googlewhack.
I did finally find another one though and got it listed :)
