I did like those keywords for the honeycomb search.

Maybe that's the only way to teach people how to refine net searches: Give

I'm with you... searching for any kind of useful info on car parts on
sites like Google is a nightmare with all the farking parts-stores ads
that make up 90% of the hits.

I Googled "catalytic converter how it works" and the first hit that came
up was http://auto.howstuffworks.com/catalytic-converter.htm.

Another useful link that came up:

hi. im a not so clueless_troll
i am innocent stupid teenager and my internet info class is doin a study on
naive internet users and how to troll good, my teacher said try passive
trolling using the pathetic whatever, teenager approach , im stupid, im
dumb, im cluless and
be vague and see how many people waste lots of energy really trying to help
U

the only real teenie thing about this
is trying to get somebody else to do
there assignment for them

clues,
1. **no** teenie refers to self as clueless
2. teenie venacular is off by 15 years
3. post is too long (think IM)
4. i read howitworks.com

if one ***actually reads*** first paragraph
and still whines about not knowing what
convertor does whine whine and blather
on about not saying what it does or being
vague and in consistent

deserves a failing grade on the report

spend some time in science / math / physics
groups you'll know

Exactly! This is an exercise, so when you have to do it "for real" you
*will* know what you are doing.
