Feel the Brush Luke

Why did the Jedi brush his teeth? No, it's not some cheesy tag line, its something I saw yesterday in the dentists office. The sign read: "Jedi's don't wet their toothbrush, they don't rinse either".

So it prompted me to think (as a regular pre-wetter AND rinser) and also be a little embarrassed that I should have learnt this key piece of knowledge from grade school. Always searching for reasons, I decided to Google the information, and expected a whole ream of information on perhaps the damaging effect of water on toothpaste, or the benefits to not rinsing. Nothing... nada. So many people had posted their own thoughts, comments, suggestions and routines on toothbrushing that any useful information was obviously engulfed.

And that, my friends, is where the Internet still has a way to go. I think I will term this phenomenon (although a term most probably exists) Imboogled. Let's define imbooglism:

imbue · to permeate or saturate.
google · to search for (something) on the internet using a search engine
imboogle · to saturate (something) on the internet using a search engine

Am I any the wiser when it comes to brushing? No. Will I adapt my brushing habits? Probably not. Will I actually check with a real person to explore the validity of the jedi tooth brushing principle (JTBP)? No. Will I use the term imboogle at every available juncture? Most definitely.
