John Allen Paulos om Oulipo: Google Made Surreal

John Allen Paulos: Google Made Surreal:

I thought of Oulipo recently while visiting a Web site listing the Top 10 queries posed to Google for the week ending Feb. 21, 2005. (http://www.google.com/press/zeitgeist.html) In lower case, these queries were: 1. nascar, 2. hunter s thompson, 3. sandra dee, 4. constantine, 5. westminster dog show, 6. numa numa, 7. jeff gannon, 8. daytona 500, 9. us weekly and 10. american idol. The Oulipian constraint I considered was a weekly "news summary" incorporating all 10 of the queries.
