Queries which Philosophers through the ages have endeavoured to search for the answer to. This is conclusive proof that there remain certain aspects of our world that mankind (or even womankind, for that matter, though it may come as a bit of a surprise) cannot begin to comprehend. We, as mere mortals have struggled to cope with the vastness of existence. Even The Theory of everything has its flaws: it assumes people are naturally naive and liable to believe everything they read. However, nothing should be taken at face value, as those that destroyed all their electrical appliances for fear of suffering at the hands of the Millennium Bug will testify. They have remained unanswered. Until now. Contained on this page are the answers to some of those unanswerable questions in life, condensed into an Uncyclopedia article for ease of digestion.

Although originally restricted to using Google, the term "Googlewhacking" has become a neologism, and is still used even if the practitioner is using Yahoo or another browser. The term "Googlewhack" first appeared at the turning of the 21st Century in a flurry of fantastic superlativeism. Despite an inherent unprosperous antiestablishmentarianism the craze began to prosper, and soon had a number of frumious adherents. These ambidextrous scallywags can often be found interpositioning nudes within polaroid genderlects. Oftime diphallic wankers are refered to as "Googlewhackers" or just "Whackers" or similar. Traditional Googlewhackers prefer to use the Google Images search, though a small but vocal group have migrated to using GooglePorn, the Google Service developed as "the most comprehensive porn search on the web".

This will mean around 15 to 30 minutes downtime for the lists. Posts sent during that time might be delayed or bounced, though there's a possibility mails will be lost in this time, so I'd suggest holding off sending anything until you see they're working again.

For now, the mailing list server will be restarted every hour at minute 49, which should prevent mails getting held for too long. Angela.
