Questions from my Stats

Looking at your Stats can be a learning experience. You can find out why people are visiting your blog, how often they are visiting, and how long they are visiting. You can also find out what system your readers are using, so that if everyone is using Firefox, for example, you might want to write up a list of tips for using Firefox. Give the people what they want.

Personally I like to obsesses about how my visitors I have had, per day, per week, per month, and I like to see that number going up, not down. So I tend to blog about a wide range of topics. As a result, I get a wide range of people using different keywords to find their way to my little part of the Internet. Sometimes these are random groups of words-the person using Google must be playing some kind of a game to see if anything pops up. Googlewhacking was a bit of fun a few years ago, but I found that it lost its appeal pretty quickly. So. . .

Questions from my Stats.

Why are women on Dexter small breasted? To be honest, I don’t know. But I did notice this pretty early on in the series. Not that I have anything against women with small breasts, they just seem to be very well represented on Showtime’s Dexter.

Why do famous people have blogs? The reasoning on this questions seems to be, hey, your already rich and famous, why are you wasting your time blogging? I like blogging, and a vast horde of people that I have come to sort of know and like, blog every day. So why shouldn’t famous people blog? You can only buy so many new houses and adopt so many kids form Africa, you know.

Why does Jessica Rabbit love Roger? Didn’t you watch the movie? Roger makes Jessica laugh.

Why does Will Smith hunt deer? Ah, this is a great question. In the beginning of I Am Legend our hero, Will Smith, is driving around New York chasing a herd of deer and taking the occasional potshot at them. Is he hunting for fun? He doesn’t seem to be having fun. Is he hungry? He has a house full of food. Does he want to feed his dog some fresh meat? Well, I guess maybe he could. Is hes just killing time, as there is nothing else to do in the dead future? What about that whole saving the world thing? In short, I have never been fully satisfied with any of the countless answers I have seen to this question. My guess is it was just an excuse to throw in a few more really, really, really bad CGIs into I Am Legend.

Why is the #5 on flare gum? Hmm, I don’t know. Five pieces of gum in the pack? Nah. The number five looks pretty cool? I wonder why the #5 is on flare gum?

Why is the town painted red in the movie High Plains Drifter? Because it is supposed to be transformed into Hell. And maybe they had a lot of red paint laying around.

How do I make someone naked in a photo? Well, get a camera and have someone take their clothes off. I’m sure there are easy ways to do this with Photoshop, but nothing springs right to mind.

How many calories are in a Nu-Way hotdog? Why do people want to know stuff like that? Do you really think a hotdog is health food? Just eat it and enjoy it.

How many players made it to the pro bowl in 2007 from the Dallas Cowboys? It was 11, but now it is 12.

Can anyone learn magic? Well, yes, they can. It takes a bit of work to be good at it though. I’m talking stage magic here, like spinning cards and palming quarters. Bewitched type magic, I am not so sure about.

Can I sell my Crater of Diamonds diamond? Yes, you can. Just don’t expect to retire to the South of France on what you get for it.

Can I sell sex toys on Amazon? Somebody is selling a lot of sex toys on Amazon, so why not you? Yes, I believe you can sell sex toys on Amazon.

Are Kellogg’s snack bites okay to eat? I’m just guessing here, but maybe they mean, do they taste good? Well, they are snacks with vitamins and minerals, what do you think?
