Iraq: like a a fox
You heard me...
Tag-surfing out of boredom I find "Between Iraq and a hard place" (filed under Iraq).
Now I thought, wow, thats an original pun. Noone could have used that before.
So I checked it using google: almost 20,000 hits.
So then I tried to see what other puns on the Iraq/Rock similarity I could come up with, and keep going till I got a googlewhack or a zilch:
- "Iraq and Roll" - first surprised by only two hits - then I realised I'd typed "Iraqi and Roll". Actual hits: 1740 plus another 600 for "Iraq n Roll"
- "Iraqi road" - while probably not being used as a pun - scored over 600 hits
- "Iraq solid" - scores over 250
- Just shy of 500 hits for "Iraq around the clock"
- To try and convince myself that not all "Rock" songs would be used, I tried "Iraq lobster" - still got some hits (under 10)
- Try some genres, "Acid Iraq", "Swing Iraq", "Slow Iraq", "Satanic Iraq", "Hard Iraq", I'm going to need something unusual...
- Ok, so as a joke, I didn't expect to have any hits for this, but "Iraqtober" (October) actually scores 3 hits
- OMG! Another joke, even worse. "Iraqi and Bullwinkle" - over 100 hits
- "Iraq, paper scissors": over 100
- Wannabe "iraq star"
- Finally get luck with "Rocks in his head" and "Rocks in the head" both yielded a single hit each. (Oh and "Iraq in her head" too, it was International Women's Day after all).
Isn't it good to be spending one's stime constructively.
Too-rah.
PS - MY FIRST YEAR ORIENTATION WAS NOTHING LIKE THIS - and despite what Acrix says, I'm still jealous

Why thank you peons for pointing out i had inadvertantly posted this up twice.
In my sleep another pun came to me that I though "no, it couldn't be".
Yet, sure enough "Iraqtopus" still yields hits, albeit just as the title of this piece of Photo-shop-art.
