And in this space (here we are again), strange things happen. Like when you type two-strings of random four letter words into an image search and Google shows you a bizarre collection of connected art. You know, like this: This bizarre occurrence was spotted by Reddit user Yanekke and shared on the social networking site. If you’re dubious, give it a try yourself.
