Yes, read carefully. I searched for West Park and left it as one word. And I got this.
Cripes.

    What's so weird about that?

    When's the last time you visited West Park?

    That sure looks like some of the people I encountered there on my last visit.

    I am guessing a direct hit on the name failed so a soundex-related search was done which dragged up 'bestiary' as a hit.

    Edit: nevermind, didn't read everything properly. Not sure why "bestiary" would be a close hit-- seems like "wyvern" would be a much closer match.

    Well, West Park is just to the right of South Park. I took a wrong turn.

    Both "bestiary" and "westpark" are of the form "?est?ar?", which looks very close to a computer's distance algorithm.

    A very astute observation.

    ...not too different from some of the outlandish spelling suggestions FF kicks back.

    Nope...

    Nope.

    Too simple.

    Too straight-forward.

    Don't like it.
