  • A gödelwhack (after Kurt Gödel, 1906-1978) is any self-referential Google query. For example, the phrase "exemplary googlewhack" was a gödelwhack during the early days of googlewhacking. One interesting form is the cardinal gödelwhack, a Google query that accurately describes the number of results it will return (e.g. "This Google query produced fourteen thousand three hundred eighty two hits," if in fact it does).
