This happens with some regularity. Here's the most recent example.

I watched South Park last night, which included a Latin Easter chant with the words "Hippitus Hoppitus." I wanted to find the rest of the text, so I Googled those two words -- the only two I could remember from the music.

Google brought up one example, but helpfully asked if I really meant "Hippitus Hoppus."

Okay, I said, let's see what I get with that.

Nothing.

Zilch.

Why does Google keep offering me these stupid alternatives that lead nowhere? Jesu H. Kriste!

update:
Sanctum Piter oteum, Deus ore uneum.
Hippitus hoppitus reus homine.
In suspiratoreum, lepus in re sanctum.
Hippitus hoppitus Deus Domine.
Thanks to anonymous reader and whoever posted the words. Each time I searched, there were more references to it. Once again, I'm impressed by how helpful folks on the 'net are. I'm confident this transcription is more accurate than one I would have made.

You miss the point, which is that Google offers these farcical re-spellings of search terms, and they don't even lead to anything!

(And yes, the first one is the one my Google search turned up.)
