Schachter's Hypothesis
     
         The observation that "Given two unrelated
        technical terms, an {Internet} {search engine} will retrieve
        only resumes".  This was first formulated by {Joshua Eli
        Schachter (http://www.burri.to/~joshua/)} in about 1998, while
        poring over the uniformly irrelevant pages that resulted from
        a search he'd run on "+{Perl} +{MAPI}" in {Altavista}.
