I have been doing some work winnowing away spammy referrals from M's and my blogs, and in the process have chanced upon an interesting study in how people arrive at my blog from various search engines.
Not only has someone searched for "danger from hamster," but the third link(at the time of this posting) points to this blog post of mine.
Other surprising searches that have yielded hits on my web site:

One very noticeable fact: those who followed the search results to my blog were unlikely to find what they were looking for. I hope I was able to amuse them on their way to the ultimate destination, though.
