October’s Searches

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.

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

  2. 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.

  3. “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.

  4. “when will you humans learn, these ‘feelings’ as you call them stand in the way of big cash payoffs.” — a divorce lawyer, to manjula on the Simpsons.

  5. Excellent work! I hadn’t placed that one in conjuction with the Simpsons…but now it all makes sense!
