"Brain hammerrage" for brain hemorrhage

On a support forum for website software Drupal, a desperate questioner asked for a quick response, otherwise he would have a brain hammerrage. It’s not clear if this is simply a misspelling or not, however. I found it very descriptive. Searches on Google turned up mostly references to some sort of unfortunate Metal band called Intense Hammer Rage.

Re: "Brain hammerrage" for brain hemorrhage

Nice one. Here are several dozen web examples: http://www.google.ca/search?&q=%22brain+hammerage%22 These have a single “r,” as in “hammer age.” A brain hemorrhage can certainly hammer your age potential.
