What are the odds?
Stories are thoughts that make good words.
That phrase popped into my mind. Seven words. It occurred to me to wonder about the likelihood of the phrase being original. With just seven common words, what are the odds that they've never appeared in exactly that way before?
I googled it.
stories are thoughts that make good words got a lot of hits, but none of the snippets showed the full phrase.
stories+are+thoughts+that+make+good+words also got a lot of hits, possibly the same ones. Maybe the two search terms are functionally identical.
"stories are thoughts that make good words" got no hits. Zero. The exact phrase was not found out there.
Does anyone have the google-fu to improve the search? I don't, but somebody must.
