Google Whacking

Googlewhacking is another recent web silliness -- find two words that return only one result in Google (discounting word lists).

My first attempt was aerodynamic jellyfish. An abject failure, as among other links there's a whole article about it.

Eventually i found equanimous sherbet, cantaloupe volcanology, portly vivisections, noodling hangnails, and voracious sextuplets (can you see why this is fun?).

My highest score though (one multiplies the number of Google results for each word alone) was with serif (389000) and tarantulas (47600), total 18,516,400,000. (Two pages come up, but one "serif" is only in the markup, a search on the page as rendered does not find it). That's respectable, within an order of magnitude of the highest scores i've seen.

My lowest score was lovelorn (24800) sextuplicate (266), total 6,596,800. I haven't seen many low scores for comparison.
