WTF?!
$ apt-cache search christ on a stick libmail-audit-perl - Perl library for creating easy mail filters

WTF?!
Ah…
Don’t encourage them (us). Someone will think of scripting apt-cache search to use /usr/share/dict/british-english and then all bets will be off.
Noooooooo!
This was one of the GREATEST posts I’ve ever seen in Planet Gnome. I simply can’t stop laughing. For that, thank you! =)

Well, that comment got mangled pretty badly. Just look at the description for libmail-audit-perl at http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/perl/libmail-audit-perl: The description contains the words ‘Christ’, ‘on’, ‘a’, and ‘stick’
Christ on a stick… Hilarious.
You do realize that searching for “christ on a stick” the way you’ve done only checks if all the words are present somewhere in the description, right?. They don’t need to be contiguous, and they aren’t in libmail-audit-perl’s case.
