Search words

Today, I checked my web server stats, and was amused by some of the most popular search words since December 1st. Here’s how they break down:

  • Topping the list at 212 hits is the undefeated all-time champion of search words, “hamster”.
  • Next at 96 hits is “Canadian Christmas“.
  • At 43 hits is the old reliable “cubicle”. No suprise there. Lots of people like to read about cubicles online.
  • That’s followed by 36 hits for “buster keaton”, who I posted about once in 2002.
  • Then 11 hits for “automata”, which is a lingering reference to my “Webdog Automata” pages, which no longer exist. Apologies to those 11 people.
  • 9 hits for “sumo”.
  • 8 hits for “mouse”.
  • 5 each for “beer nuts” (Mmm, beer nuts), “bookcase”, and “cubicle gifts”.
  • 4 hits for “chimps on penguins”, which, to my relief, turned out to be a video of chimps discussing penguins.
  • 4 for “christmas cubicle”, “light sensor robots”, and “photo hamster” (is that a hamster with a lens and film?).
  • and the remainder was split among “rc robots”, “salt and vinegar chips”, and “the hamster”.

At least I no longer get searches for Ellen Fiess, black triangular UFOs, and naked penguins.
