Normally, this blog's major attraction, in terms of searches, is the photo of the bloody water in Taiji, from the senseless dolphin slaughter. The photograph is not, of course, mine -- nonetheless, I get a rich number of hits from people looking for it here at elle est belle la seine la seine elle est belle.
After the Taiji photo, the object of visitors' ranking searches varies, but usually includes CRPS issues, and some aspects of recent postings.
When there is a surge of interest in something, usually a quick assessment of world news will account for it -- photos of the UConn women's b-ball team, mockery of Muammar Gaddafi, health care reform legislation, and so on.
Rarely, I'm stymied by the popularity of a specific post among searchers.
For example, starting yesterday at mid-morning, the new and surprising leader among post page views is... Anatidaephobia.
In itself, not that fascinating a development.
But add to that the fact that ALL of these searches originate from different computers in Colombia... and I'm hooked by the delight of a mystery! So if anyone knows of a possible reason for the good folks in Bogota, Medellìn, Antioquia -- and four other originating cities in Colombia -- to have developed a sudden fascination with the psychology behind the pervasive fear of being watched by ducks, please let me in on it!
