Whack-a-mole

You might think this is an April Fool's Day joke. But I assure you it's not.

A few days ago I received the following email:

Hello, I need to talk to Dave at ear-rational.com
He is a googlewhack!
please let him know to reply to this address if he has any questions,
also can he please find two googlewhacks
thanks very much
Dave

Upon reading it, I had no idea what a googlewhack was. So I looked it up and emailed the guy back asking him what the query was. Turns out it was "s-p-a-s-t-i-c-a-t-e-d   u-n-u-n-b-i-u-m" (without the dashes and quotes). Curious, I went to google and entered those words, but unfortunately, something had changed so that it no longer returned anything (I put the dashes in so that this page would not be a match and disturb the results).

Unfortunately I don't really have time to type two random words into google until I get a single result, but I sure am curious how that query ended up pointing to me...

(Update: I re-entered those words into Google today--April 6th--and did get a match here.)
