Dave Gorman's Googlewhack Adventure
First of all let me tell you what a Googlewhack is. You type two words into the Google search engine and it comes back with thousands of results most of the time. Well a Googlewhack is when your search results from the two words you type comes back with only one result, and it can't be a page that just contains a list of words, it needs to be a proper legit web page. Try it, see how you get on, by the way, both words that you choose to use must be found in dictionary.com
Back to the book.
Dave Gorman is an English comic regularly seen on tv, and he has a bit of an obsessive behavior. His googlewhack advenute started when he received an email from a stranger saying that he himself (Gorman) was a googlewhack, that is, that the person who sent the email had typed two words into the Google search engine and it came back with only one result, Dave Gorman's website. I guess this intrigued Dave and one of his mates of the same name David Gorman, set him a challenge, Dave Gorman had to find Googlewhacks, from the resulting websites he would have to email the creator of the site and then meet them, and that person would then have to find two googlewhacks for Dave, and then Dave would go off and meet them. David challenged Dave that he couldn't meet ten googlewhacks in a row before his 32nd birthday, which didn't give him long, only a few months. When I say ten in a row this is how it works...Dave meets his first googlewhack, who then uses the search engine to find Dave two more googlewhacks and at least one of them has to agree to meeting Dave or the chain stops, if you read the book you will understand more clearly. So Dave Gorman agrees to this challenge and jets off all around the world meeting strange people and finding himself in some weired and wonderful scenarios.
It is a laugh a minute book, I truly recommend it.
If you're interested, Dave Gorman, the writer of this book, first met David Gorman a few years ago when Dave Gorman's mate Danny Wallace bet him that he couldn't find another 54 Dave Gorman's in the world, and this can be read in a book by Dave Gorman surprisingly called 'Are You Dave Gorman'
He's a funny guy, read his books.
BTW I tried and tried to find a googlewhack of my own but after spending hours at the PC with not even a sniff I decided to call it a day, let me know if you find any.
