March and April Searches

May 6th, 2006

Filed under: General

Time for another look at what strange internet searches have led people to Polite Dissent over the past two months. Here are a selection of some that cuaght my eye (as usual, my comments are in green italics).

Frequent Searches:

  • Hawk and Dove
  • Wormy by Dave Trampier
  • Tanith Belbin
  • Scottie from Mythbusters
  • “We Make Holes in Teeth”

Medically-related Searches:

  • Bleach accidentally injected into bloodstream How exactly does one “accidentally” inject bleach?
  • Discharge plan for unconscious patient with head injury Well for starters, I wouldn’t discharge them until they woke up.
  • Why does the gallbladder cause pain in the upper right hand corner under the ribcage? Because that’s where it is located: under the liver in the upper right hand quadrant of the abdomen.
  • Can a woman fall pregnant if she had a pacemaker inserted and her husband has recovered from a stroke 3 years ago/ If she’s having unprotected sex, yes.
  • Are b12 injections good for you? If you have a B12 deficiency. Otherwise, they’re pretty much a placebo.
  • Temperature scales for normal human body kelvin Strange question, but the normal human body temerature in Kelvin is 310.
  • The subtance in the fluid lining the alveoli that prevents their collapse Surfactant

Comic Book-related:

  • Spider-man comic aunt may is sick That narrows it down to about one hundred and fifty different issues.
  • How to draw and create my own comic book of heroes and violins This one speaks for itself, musically.
  • How to shoot heat vision from your eyes I wasn’t sure if this was medical or comic related.
  • Unknown soldier hush See, I’m not the only one who thought so.
  • Rudolph the red nosed reindeer with tusky I’d like to see this too.

Television-related Searches:

  • We’re leaving mother earth save human race Those would be from the lyrics to the opening theme from the first season of Star Blazers
  • cuddy and cameron wedding fanfiction I’m confused — are Cuddy and Cameron marrying each other? Because I find that hard to believe after the way Cameron cut her down to size last episode.
  • kim possible and ron stoppable pregnancy and graduation stories fan fiction I just find it interesting that the pregnancy comes before graduation.

“I Have No Idea What On God’s Green Earth They Were Looking For” Searches

  • uterus polite
  • caveman voodoo convents

“Scary Thoughts” Searches

  • homemade defibrillator
  • o negative blood groups and alien connections

    I happen to know what the story is behind the body temperature in Kelvin one; for the movie of The Da Vinci Code, they’re running a sort of trivia/brain teaser contest, and that was one of the questions.

    Ahhhh…I had to go searching through your archives to find out why so many people were being led here by searches for Kim Possible. Now I get it! Over on my blog, I once wrote specifically about KP fan fiction, so you’d figure such a query would lead there instead. Oh well, I suppose this is a serendipitous message that I should write more posts about Team Possible!

    So, no hints for the homemade defibrillator? I’ve got the car battery and a couble of steel plates, but I’m just not sure how the wiring should go.

    Those fan fic searches seem relatively tame compared to some that you’ve posted previously.

    Sadly there was nothing too reisque this time. Looks like the glorious days of “Zatanna Porn” are over.

    For “uterus polite”, they probably meant *prolapsed*

    The bleach question has to be junkie-related, from sterilizing needles.

    I’d read a comic about cavemen voodoo convents. Sounds like it has potential.

    About the blood type and alien connections – that was a plot point in a recent Doctor Who episode.

    And no, it wasn’t me asking.

    “Uterus polite” might also have had something to do with Sailor Moon. In one of the final seasons, one of the characters had an attack called “Star Gentle Uterus,” for some unknowable reason. For what it’s worth, the character was female in her powered-up form, but apparently male in “civilian” guise.

    My guess that “polite uterus” was looking for the review of “Skin Deep” (House Season 2 Episode 13), by a searcher who only vaguely remembered the name of the website.

    (Or possibly looking for the House reviews in general and remembered only the partial name and that you were said to have commented on the how’d-they-miss-that in that episode…)

    You’ll be happy to note that you are currently the top result on a google search for “polite uterus”. You need to find a way to turn this into a recurring feature. No, I don’t know how you would do this.
