A couple of years ago, I Googled the phrase "every night I dream that I'm travelling", to see if any other lost souls had dreams of perpetual motion. The search (in quotes) delivered no results, so I chopped a word from the end and searched again - this got twelve results. The combination of phrases appealed to me, so I carried on removing words and doing the search, with an idea of assembling the end product as a sort of found poem. The searches found ever-more results, so I reduced the number of phrases I kept each time to stop it achieving infinite length. Here is the 2005 version:
