Google it….

There is, on every blog I have ever come across, a post that focuses on the weird and wonderful search terms people have used to land on that particular blog. This is my contribution.

On the stats page for this blog, there’s a list of search terms people have used to come across the site.
Here are some of the more frequent slightly odd ones:

Fermat Salander – this one is very popular at the moment. Seems people are reading The Girl Who Played with Fire and want to know what Salander’s take on Fermat’s last theorem is. I don’t know if my post on the book will be particularly edifying in that respect, since as I point out, I’m no genius. What I came up with is a possibility though.

Who is Alex Barclay: Bit existential this one, no? I don’t think I claim to have the answer to that anywhere on here. For those seeking my opinion on the matter, Alex Barclay is a lovely woman who writes kick-ass crime books. That is all.

dikshunary: Uhhhhh, you wouldn’t believe how many times that spelling of “dictionary” shows up. I used it in one post to highlight the bad proof reading standards at the Irish Times. No they never printed the word like that, but they’d probably get away with it if they did, considering I get at least one hit per day for the mispelled version.

retail interior design: No idea. Really. The gods of google, they are capricious. Retail I do have as a tag, but interior design? Nope.

umbrella porn: Eep?! I never knew such a thing existed. Am at a loss as to why people looking for it would be sent here. Do I even mention umbrellas anywhere? I think in one post a customer brandishes one, but iirc it wasn’t in a sexual way…then again, who knows what works for devotees of umbrella pr0n….

Those are just some of the recent terms used to land here – I’ll add to this as more weirdness comes up, and believe me, weirdness shall arise.
