ok... ok... i asked for it ;)

>the butterflies of the Orinoco-river,



keywords: butterflies & orinoco



ignoring travel guides and after one noise hit, all biology link pages

(wow! there are crocodiles called orinoco...) 



[30 seconds] -> 1)BUTTERFLY BIODIVERSITY SURVEY  

>The aim of this study is thus to

     produce some taxonomic and behavioural data on the butterflies

     inhabiting a significant transect of the Orinoco river system.

http://sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk/netspedition/butterfly.html



aha, the Orinoco river is in Venezuela... wow! it pretty much IS Venezuela

:) i must have slept through that geography lesson...  



keywords: butterflies & venezuela



ignoring more travel guides, and some entomologist CV's...



[2 - 4 minutes] -> 2) Andrew Neild's Neotropical Butterfly Site 

(The butterflies of Venezuela)

http://www.ndirect.co.uk/~a.neild/



+ after checking out a few link pages in the same results list.



[about 5 - 7 minutes] -> 3) CATALOGO ILUSTRADO DE MARIPOSAS DE VENEZUELA 

http://www.luz.ve/Ciencias/Biologia/Mariposas/index.html



The last 3 - 5 minutes were spent looking for more, until i decided the

time it was taking didn't stand in relation to the general subject of the

search. Hits were getting too specific. Searches were getting too

specific... That's the point you should ask yourself, "Do i really need to

know this ?" Just like you ignore the hits that are too general, you should

ignore the hits (and searches) that are too specific for the subjects

search type. (Nymphalidae/Limenitidinae/ Apaturinae/Charaxinae & Venezuela

for example)



10 minutes, 2 searches and 3 quality hits... I should have checked these

sites links pages. They're always good for a few more sites.

Usually i bookmark pages and go back later to look at links. 

------------------------------------------------------------------

>german poets of the XVI century, 

both infoseek keywords: "german, poet and renaissance" (2nd hit) or

sentence: german poets of the 16th century (1st hit) lead to:



[1 min] 1) http://www.eb.com 

the encyclopedia britannica 

It's as good a site as any to find info on the poets. getting a 7 day

password could be done every 7 days i guess, or you could spend some time

looking for a password... but that's another search altoghether.



a search for "german AND poet AND 15*" in their engine results in the

following keywords:

-> Frischlin, Philipp Nikodemus 

-> humanism

-> Sebastian Brant

-> Celtis, Conradus

-> Sachs, Hans



keywords Hans Sachs > Celtis in infoseek, leads you

to the following page:

http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~german/phdlist.html

one slash deleted and you are on the harvard U. Department of

Germanic Languages and Literatures page. click the german studies links

page, and you'll find this little gem:



[5 - 7 minutes] 2) http://gutenberg.aol.de/gutenb.htm

in case you want to read some of the poetry ...and know german :)



And this clue to a better alternative to the EB, considering the subject:

Meyers Lexicon Encyclopedia. But the site is messy and links are outdated,

so: altavista adv query: date filter from say 2 months before today, search

string: Meyers Lexcicon



[9 minutes] 3) http://www.iicm.edu:8080/MeyersLexikon

3 users max... hmmm... oh well...



There seems to be no site (or at least i didn't find one) that matched  the

subject as theme for the page. Maybe there's a few in the german engines

for those who want to bother...

>old M”rklin steam locs, 

a 5 sec phrase search results in some marklin steam loc pics already,

wether they're old i have no idea.

http://www.modellbahn.com/forsale.html

but you want the ultimate guide on old marklin steam locs right ?

>silent actresses of the 1920's cinema?

God where do you get these ? ;P
