One more comment. I have sent a number of people here to read your dressing the dead post. It is beautiful, and the post and comments are very informative. Where else could you find information like that? Especially when the need for the information tends to come rather unexpectedly in many cases. Thank you, Ardis.

Fascinating. I love Google, and not just because it pays my husband’s salary.

I have to agree with L-d Sus, “Why do I keep coming back? Because your posts are full of interesting content and your opinions are well reasoned.”

I don’t remember how I first found you, but I know it wasn’t through an absurd Google search. However, I quickly put you into my favorites and enjoy visiting nearly every day. You’re a great lunchtime companion!

Every time I look at search terms that brought people to NCT I consider writing a post like this. Sometimes the searches are simply beyond belief, I see you used some restraint in your selections.

That’s funny, Ardis.

Several years ago my brother wrote an April Fool’s Day post on his neuropsychology blog with a very official-sounding description of the first brain transplant. I forget if he wrote it in response to people coming to his site after googling “brain transplant” or if he started seeing a spike in that search term after writing the post. Either way, he finally put a disclaimer on the top of the post:

…the following post is meant to be humorous. Surgeons have not performed and cannot at the present time perform brain transplants.

Too bad! Sounds like some of these people could use one!

What a fun post! Just what I needed today. Makes me want to search for something ridiculous just to see if Keepa will come up.

I think I might write a guest post with as many absure phrases in it just so that Ardis can get new hits.

Be warned Ardis, after your rant, someone searching for

Balaam’s ass spoke with the voice of a human

may very well find themselves visiting Keepa.

Cool work, Ardis. I enjoy checking in every day!

This is cool. Just for fun, I took a look at some of the same reports at my site. I am surprised how many different ways people spell “Amateur”. I suspect you see the same for “Keepapitchinin”.
