Submitting searches makes me feel a little less guility about using DQSD
without paying anything for it :)

I've attached another less useful and more frivolous search for the
googlisms site. Googlism brings back the best results for people and
products, its interesting to see how contradictory the returns are, the
Eric Raymond example is a pretty good illustration of this!
