I've had three people this morning hit my blog while searching for Icelandic porn. Bewildering. OK, it's not bewildering, apparently it's quite normal. OK, it's not normal either. Unless you're Icelandic, that is, which one of my misguided visitors happens to be. (This made so much more sense when it was in my head.) Anyway, I have a horrible confession to make: I too once searched Google for Icelandic porn. It was before I started this blog and I can't even remember if I actually found any real Icelandic porn. My search that day, like so many others, was driven by boredom much more than the mindless male horniness that plagues me so often. And why Iceland? What kink would fuel such a search? Bjork? And what would be in Icelandic porn anyway? Vikings? Would it be something like an all nude, all humping version of Snorri Sturluson's most beloved medieval saga, Heimskringla? The mind reels. OK, it doesn't.

One of my favorite stupid search engine requests I've found is for "Google porn". Why would anyone search for this? Were they under the impression that Google had a new feature for porn like Google News or Google Groups? I think it's in beta right now and it'll be officially launched in a couple of months. (Now that I think of it, that's not an entirely stupid idea.)

Someone hit my blog after searching what appears to be a Farsi or Arabic language version of Google for "Turkish Google". For the record Turkish Google can be found here. More than anything I want my blog to be public service. Now, if only I could help that guy who seached for "porn involving clowns" to find exactly what he was looking for.

That wasn't worth the wait at was it? Sorry.
