Interesting
Site Statistics
Since
the site's birth in early October, we have received hundreds of
links through search engines, thousands of visitors from around the
world, and various story submissions. Some such statistics have been
deemed interesting enough to include in this section.
Search
Queries
These
are the phrases people have typed into google/yahoo/aol search/etc.
and linked to the site:
"broadcasting
history of rabbit or remote control"
I'm
not even going to try to understand what that is supposed to mean!
"high school gossip
and immaturity"
Gossip?
No way! We report the facts!
"quotable quotes on
mushroom hunting"
Because
who doesn't need quotable quotes on mushroom hunting. I mean,
quotes will not do - they must be quotable quotes!
"teachers raping
student stories"
TEACHERS
ARE RAPING THE STUDENT STORIES?!?!?
"precious bodily
fluid"
What
in the world was this punk looking for?
"nobody has ever
liked me"
Me
neither, but this site probably wont help your esteem issues.
"philosophy of an
orange"
For
everyone knows the intellect of your average Florida orange is
monumental. Philosophy comes naturally for the orange.
"gross beverly hills
high school"
Pardon
me.
And
now....the Search Query First Place Winner - A Member of the Google
Hall of Fame:
"naked in high
school lockers rooms"
BeverlyUnderground.com
was the first result in google at the time under that query. Sorry
buddy (whoever it is that typed it in) but I think the page you were
linked to (the Unconfirmed Report from Issue 1) doesn't cover that particular
fetish very well. Better luck next time.
Visitors
Out
of the thousands of viewers of this site, a couple visitors caught
my attention.
6
different computers at:
norfolk.nmci.navy.mil
What
is this might you ask? It's the Norfolk, Virginia Navy Marine Corps
Intranet. Perhaps they didn't like the 9/11 Conspiracy talk.
www.bop.gov
That
is the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Interesting...
wcs1-cbus.nipr.mil
& wcs2-cbus.nipr.mil
A
secure Department of Defense network designed for transferring sensitive
materials between internal computers. The location is unknown. Now I
know they didn't like the 9/11 Conspiracy theory or the
"Fuck the Constitution" editorial very much.
2
different computers at:
lejeune.usmc.mil
This
is the US Marine Camp Lejeune in North Carolina.
Story
Submissions
I find some of the story submissions so odd. I mean, there is a lot
of material that applies to this site and will get printed, but some
stories are just too much.
We received one story from a guy in Australia talking about how his
grandmother fell off of a horse while playing croquet and broke her
thigh. She had to be rushed to a hospital...and it goes on, and on,
and on for five pages about his grandmother's perils after having
fallen off of a horse during a game of croquet. Does he seriously believe
that that is the kind of material we are looking for???? I don't
think ANYONE in this world cares about some Australian guy's
grandmother's fall.
As if that wasn't bad enough, then we received a story which went on
and on about this Argentinean mother's cooking. By the 11th page I
thought I was reading a cookbook with personal commentary. Of
course, it would have taken a huge dose of caffeine (to keep me awake)
and a safety deposit box filled to the brink with gold bullion to
read all 11 pages - ah, the joys of being able to skip long and
boring chunks. Now although the cooking situation in my
household could improve, reading about how the Cossacks (for the guy
moved to Russia) confiscated their "turkey with such harmonized
flavors of Yugoslavia" isn't exactly something that keeps me
flipping the pages (that is, if the document was in a tangible
medium). By the 19th page he was talking about
what movies he rented and saw with his brother on some Friday night.
I said to myself - he can't seriously think anyone would be
interested in this. We might as well publish stories about the
perils of brushing and flossing (for that in its self can be an
ordeal) our teeth. Actually, I think that would be more interesting.
Now this site survives by you, the readers' submissions, so please don't
hesitate to send something in. We accept all kinds of stories, but
if it is so remote from the focus of the site, it's not going to go
up.
By the way, we didn't receive a single piece of hate mail this
month, compared to the five letters we got last month. Too bad, it's
fun to read.
