Everyone knows how to Google, but there are some special functions that can really help when you need specific information on, say, **atheist penguins.** (Yes, that was my attempt at a [Google Whack](http://googlewhack.com). No, it didn’t work.)
Google has a great [cheat sheet](http://www.google.com/help/cheatsheet.html) with hints for finding just what you need. If you have a few minutes to kill, it’s worth taking a look and trying out some of the less-common helper-terms. In particular, I find the **info:** and **site:** delimiters useful.
