Rebusomatic

Be cautious using Woogle at work. This addictively ingenious twist on image-searching proves how many of the jpgs floating around out there are of naked people. Often, the word called for produces a surprisingly...adult...result. Luckily some results are thankfully just what you'd expect.

But there's plenty of fun to be had, nudies notwithstanding. Turn off the feature that shows the word below the image, and rebus games immediately come to mind. Of course, the search box at the top of the page unfortunately shows the words...so you have to try not to look in it. Then try to decode the rendering of The first words from a famous novel. (Here's Another [NSFW], and another. Here's Another famous first line of verse.

Including common words makes this task more difficult.

I wonder if someone will figure some sort of hack (short of a screenshot) to erase the search box text but leave the produced images intact?

I try not, incidentally, to replicate the fun stuff on offer at MeFi over here, but of course that's where I found this.
