A Googlewhack is a two word query in Google that returns only one result. Also, both words must be in Google’s dictionary.

A UK comedian called Dave Gorman made a television series out of the idea. He found that his promo web site contained one, and set off to meet the owners of other web sites that were the results of other googlewhacks.

You can find out more directly from Dave Gorman’s website entry

There are also a Book and a DVD available based on the TV series (originally broadcast in the UK on the BBC).

Dave Gorman’s done other stuff too, like going around the world trying to find every other “Dave Gorman” – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Gorman – He’s done some really unusual and interesting stuff!
