Thanks to Aya for spotting this.
Apparently there was a guy who started a blog as Chewbacca. Blogger made it a blog of note today and he had to close it down because it was getting too many hits and eating up his bandwidth (translation: he couldn't afford to keep it). Interesting on both accounts.
1. Unique idea
2. His own success was his downfall
Apparently he had an older blog and I found the addy HERE.
