[Chicago] Google Code Search: some semi-random results

I saw these reports:

  I just googled for the F-word ... result 1-10 of about 32,000
  That's odd, when I searched for "fixme" I got 620,000 hits.
  1.48 million. [for "foo"]
  "int i" - Results 1 - 10 of about 1,990,000. (0.11 seconds)

So I thought I'd try a few myself:

"try:" ...of about 254,000  [3 of the first 10 were not Python]

"except:" ...about 86,400  [only 2 false ones here]

"else:" ...about 219,000 [3 non, 2 of which were PHP, yuck]

And so on, and so forth.
