    Timbuktu

    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

    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.

    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.
