Ok, don't ask why I was doing a Google search for Timbuktu, but could anyone explain the relevance of the third result to Timbuktu

http://www.google.com/search?q=timbuktu&hl=en&lr=&output=search

"Farallon, New & Improved
www.farallon.com/"

:confused: :rolleyes:

Nope, just trying to think up witty away messages, and trying to work out how to spell things ;)

Since google rates based on links , I'd guess that there exist some sites which linked to this site and those sites think that this site has/had something to do with Timbuktu ;)

Here's how and why Timbookedtoo is spelled like this:
Tim and I through the desert went, then we saw three girls in a tent. They were three and we were two, so I booked one and Timbookedtoo. :cool:

So a witty away message could be;

"Gone all the way to Timbuktu"

Farallon used to make a product named Timbuktu. It was bought by Netopia.
