Google-ympics: the Return

Every day people arrive at this weblog via searches through Google or other search engines. I'm not systematic about it, but I do glance through these referrals every now and then and save those that are funny, weird, disturbing, or what have you. From time to time I'll post a sort of "best of weird searches" item that I have sometimes called the Google-ympics. (In case anyone is interested, the last one can be found here, along with a handful of other "here" links to past editions.)

As always, they have been divided into categories, followed by a final "winner." Such searches often suggest tantalizingly unspecified backstories, in that they invite the reader to imagine "just so stories" to account for why on earth somebody might have been compelled to enter those particular words in the search box. A plausible explanation for today's winner, however, is beyond my grasp.
