Now that Google's off the rewriting history hook, I still wonder why it 
didn't flash up one its usual:

Did you mean: ...... ? Damien Broderick



Because there are skerjillions of sites that have the
term EnglAnd, the country, perhaps enough of them such
that an accidental Lindy occurrs in some small percentage
of these, so that more sites have EnglAnd and Lindy than
the correct target Lindy EnglUnd.  Lets try it.  Googling:

Lindy England:  55,400 hits

Lindy Englund:  1,130 hits

Google is god.
