Sir Chelf searches for -- himself!!

If you have a blog or a site, I am sure that you have searched for your domain at one point or another. If you picked a good name, you should come in at the top. That's my story. If you search for "Sir Chelf," you will find that this blog is No. 1 with a bullet. Then there is a list of sites that have linked to Sir Chelf.

Eventually, you run upon sites that have no connection whatsoever to Sir Chelf. That is what we will be exploring today. What sites do you think show up on the list?

The rules today are a little different. Normally, I explore the Top Ten sites that are returned for any given search term, but today, I am going to ignore any site (including mine) that has any connection to Sir Chelf.

Today's Search Term: Sir Chelf.

The first nine returns are sites that contain the terms "sir" and "shelf." Google must think that I have misspelled a word.

The tenth site actually contains both "sir" and "chelf." This site is Welsh, although it has a button to turn everything into English. Almost all of the words on the page are unintelligible (to me), but I do spot the word "Welsh" several times, and I see the words "Trinity College" at the top of the page.

This is the actual line that contains the term "chelf": BA Astudiaethau Addysg & Chelf Gain. This is a course title for Trinity College, but I don't know what it means. When I use the "English" button, it turns everything into English but it also rearranges everything.

So, much to my surprise, "Chelf" is an actual word in Welsh; and much to my disappointment, I don't know what it means. I'm betting that it has something to do with great beauty, charisma and intelligence.
