having a long-time blog with a respectable pagerank means that one can often find people ending up at your site intending to find something completely different.

it’s funny to think how long ago it seems that i was engaging in long “arguments” about whether or not i was actually clogging up the search the results for galaxie 500 window crank.

for quite some time, i’ve noticed that i get a non-trivial amount of traffic from people searching for information on thge movie “born on the fourth of july” and being completely surprised to find that out of 15.5 million results, google thinks my account of odin’s birth – which i also titled born on the fourth of july – is the 11th most authoritative link for the search terms ( if you search with quotes then it actually breaks into the top ten ).

it’s all pretty silly, but i secretly hope that it’ll make it to the number one spot.

or at least the fourth.
