Blogmanac is a googlewhack

It was nice to hear from a Mark Dunk today, who wrote to inform me that the Blogmanac has a googlewhack, namely, Androgeny Extradited. He even explained what a googlewhack is and although I had a vague idea before, I have a much better idea now.

"If you don't know what a googlewhack is, it's an internet word game/work avoidance mechanism. You have to search google for two words that have to appear in dictionary.com and if Google returns a single result ie. it says results 1-1 of 1 in the blue bar then you've found a Googlewhack which is apparently a 1 in 3 billion probability.

"Other rules are no quote marks in the search, and if the returned page is a wordlist or from a dictionary, encyclopedia, thesaurus etc. it doesn't count.

"I heard about the game from a friend and we decided to give it a go for a bit of fun. After a string of complete failures and a few near misses with 2 or 3 results we searched for Androgeny Extradited and found an archived page from Wilson's Blogmanac and you became our first Googlewhack. Apparently it's the done thing to pass this information on to whoever runs the site if an email link is on the page.

"So there you have it a strange story but nonetheless true."

Thank you, Mark, for taking the time to notify us!
