October’s Searches
Filed under: General
It’s that time of the month again. Time to see what bizarre searches led people across this wide old internet to Polite Dissent:
The most common searches were Bwana Beast, She-Hulk, Kim Possible (and her various friends and enemies), Pica (especially ice, laundry starch and cardboard), and Dungeons and Dragons adeventures (particularly The Forgotten Temple of Tharzidun). I think I hit a nerve talking about Dave Trampier’s comic strip Wormy because that was a big hit as well. Sadly, I had only one search this month looking for Zatanna naked, and none looking for her in culottes.
rarest disease I’d stick with Kuru, the brain disease transmitted by eating other people’s brains.
obsequious spleen disorder Exactly how can a spleen be obsequious?

best neurosurgeon 2004 I’m not sure the best neurosurgeon of 2004 is, but I can tell you that Thomas Elliot is the “best neurosurgeon in the world!” (And remember, the phrase “best neurosurgeon in the world” is © and ™ 2004 by Polite Dissent)
Finally, here are the searches I can’t even begin to explain:
lettuce sedation iceberg allergy

For some reason, I keep getting “anatomy inside a fish” in my search logs. I really wonder about people sometimes…

Sometimes I pass the time attempting to decipher why searches led to my blog. For instance, I quoted Ghostbusters (”You don’t ususally see that kind of behavior in a major appliance“), I’ve talked about surgical repair, and I’ve mentioned non-accredited “diploma mill” correspondance schools at one time.
I still can’t explain some of the others, though.

“what is cognitive retreading in head injury” is the other one that keeps popping up lately…it seems like one you should be getting instead of me.
