Earlier quoted context omitted.

This is by far my favorite. Inspecting the archive, it is a combination of History made in India: Govt agrees to anti-corruption bill And one of the various javascript posts.

The one you quoted is a real title. http://www.informatica.md/node/77679

I was responding to pmtarantino that his

  History made in under 1K of javascript

was made via a combination of the (real) post title

  History made in India: Govt agrees to anti-corruption bill

and the (real) post title "whatever in 1kb of javascript" (there are many posts with that format of title).

It added the "in 2012" bit, which caused it to slip through my duplicate detector. I am trying to think of a better duplicate detector. Right now it just checks if it is an exact match or substring.
