		<description>I&#039;ve thought of what you describe as &quot;webomancy&quot; for a while. Somebody or other threw the term my way.  It reminds me of bibliomancy, which a friend of mine does with Wuthering Heights.  Just flip to a random page.

I like to practice &quot;omnimancy&quot;.  If you are looking for insight, you can pretty much find answers wherever you look, you just have to be open to finding the answers.  Yes, this does sound a little mad, but really, you&#039;ve got to be a bit potty to look to cards or painted stones to give you advice.  I tend to look to the natural world.  Every day I look at crows (cause there&#039;s always crows about), and reflect on what their actions might tell me.

		<description>hmmm....

I just supplied &quot;yes&quot; , &quot;no&quot;  and &quot;maybe&quot;, and it had no comment. And I&#039;m not big on supplying answers, I guess.

I would want something more googlism, that can be nicely odd.

But just hitting &quot;I&#039;m feeling lucky&quot; gives some nice surreal responses, closer, I think, to Hermes-of-the-Marketplace, where you really struck gold if the words you you heard came from a child or an idiot.

		<description>I asked it if I should go to France, giving it the options of &quot;yes I should go to France&quot;, &quot;maybe I shouldn&#039;t go to France&quot;, &quot;I will never go to France&quot;, and &quot;Someday I will go to France.&quot; It said that &quot;maybe I shouldn&#039;t go to France.&quot; While the requirement of having to specify a limited set of answers makes it a little restrictive, it definitely works as an oracle. For a truly open ended oracle, you would need something half way between the Oracle of Google and Googlism.

		<description>Thanks for the link Barry!

Though it really isn&#039;t much of an oracle per se, that is, where as it could tell me where France is, it won&#039;t answer the question &quot;Will I go to France?&quot;

Instead of &quot;The Oracle of Google&quot;, it really ought to be called &quot;The Quizmaster Google&quot; or &quot;Professor Google.&quot;
