Here's and entry from Google's 5-gram database -- you may remember how
enthusiastic people were on and off the corpora mailing list about its
release two years ago:
Healing Time of Hickeys The 3915
Now, if I type that into Google today:
"Healing Time of Hickeys The"
I get approximately 30 hits (at least in Germany, perhaps that's the
name of a terribly subversive group that the Chinese government
doesn't like at all, so Google removed all references from its servers
in order to get better business opportunities over in Beijing).
Talk about reliability and stability of Web counts ...
