Alternate Planet Humbug

Nice work by Brad keeping the alternate Planet Humbug online, given the woes that continue to afflict the Humbug box. Naturally, the only place where I knew to find its address was inaccessible, but I was pleased to find it with a simple Google search.

I was slightly less pleased to see that Ispell still doesn’t recognise Google. That’s true of some high profile online dictionaries as well; although Wiktionary have an entry, as does Dictionary.com, so the world will go on without Webster and Cambridge.
