More Fun With Site Meter...

Or, how people arrive at EIP. Part Five (? - I'm not really keeping track) of an occasional series. Some of the more bizarre searches that cause folks to click-through, although their exact reasons remain as obscure as their search terms (usually) are. We open with this gem from Kuwait:

OK, I’ve heard about the (supposed) aphrodisiacal qualities of rhino horn, but African leopards?

And this, from the UK:

Search Words: pregnant ladies

They clicked through on an image of the Deuce Four Ladies I stole from Michael Yon, none of whom look pregnant. And clicked through again.

I get enough of these to make me think about changing the name of the blog to “Impala SS:”

Hot pink Impala SS? You gotta be kidding me, right?

Seriously…I get at least three hits a day on this term, or variations on the theme. That and “67 Chevelle.” OTOH, the sheer numbers of folks looking for a ’96 Impala makes me wish I would have kept that car. I probably would have kept it, had I retained a more conventional life-style.

It’s “New Mexico Chile,” Italian pasta. Doubly confusing: this was an image search and they clicked through on my pic. No noodle jokes, please.

This one, and variations on its theme (there are many, this is but the most recent), always cracks me up:

Search Words: nuclear plant painting

If you click the link, you’ll see the oil painting of SWWNBN I posted a link to. I didn’t post the actual picture, Gentle Reader, just the link. Why people click through on this when there’s absolutely zero relationship (SWWNBN and nuclear plants? C’mon…) to their search baffles me.

Just The Few, The Recent. Ain’t the ‘net a wonderful thing?
