Google bombs

I'm beta testing a new feature that let's you send a Speedwell Forge postcard to anyone in the U.S. Really, a postcard. In the mail. With a stamp. For free. You do remember what a postcard is, don't you?

http://www.speedwellforge.com/postcard.html

I figure if you're willing to spam your friends with marketing junk mail from us, the least I can do is pay for it. Keep in mind that it's a real person taking care of these, so keep it clean, keep it short, and don't overwhelm us with requests. We reserve the option of deleting any requests we want to.

Oh, and we only use the address to send the postcard. We don't save it, we don't put it on a list, we don't give it to the government. (Well, we give the postcard to the government, and it has the address, so I guess we do give it to the government. Sorry.)

And now for something completely different...

A "google bomb" generally refers to an exploit in the Google search engine which results in a particular (and unrelated) web site showing in the first or second position for a given search phrase. (See "miserable failure.") Well, I don't think anyone has google-bombed us, but we do show up in the top spots for some very unusual search phrases:

If you find any others (especially if you "landed" here while searching for something else) please post them in the comments.

I just found you on "duck in the dishwasher". You may be interested to know that you are the only google hit on that exact quoted phrase.

See, my wife and I are computational linguists, and we have this ongoing habit of noting low probability phrases that we use. And when my eleven-month old daughter had a little accident in the bathtub tonight, I decided to clean her rubber ducky. My wife noticed, and said, "Hey, there's a duck in the dishwasher!"
