Back in January I ran a Greatest Hits roundup for my pre-Aard blog site. Now Razib has taught me how to check which Aard entries are the most-read ones via Google Analytics. Many are of course carnivals, and the rest are heavily influenced by who has linked to them, but anyway: here are the ten most-read non-carnival Aard entries since 1 January.
- Wish I Could Do That In Linux
- Scandinavian Attitudes to Nudity
- Subway Beggar Retaliation
- Are Humans Polygamous?
- Jim Benton on the Atheist / Agnostic Issue
- Modelling the World in Real Time
- Circumcision and Clean Syringes
- Book Review: Stenger, God, the Failed Hypothesis
- My Eugenics Project
- A Forest Fire on the Outermost Isles
The main lesson here is probably that Scandy archaeology isn't so hot. I should go for controversial issues that touch upon the most cherished beliefs of my readers: things like religion, sex, nudity and, of course, above all, Linux.

Orac mentioned that he runs recurring De-Lurking Days on his blog. "Lurking" is to hang around a web forum or a blog without making your presence known. "De-Lurking" is to come out into the light of on-line day, however briefly.
Google Reader is an excellent blog reader, among whose strengths is that it resides somewhere off your computer. This means that you can read blogs from several machines without having to mark a lot of old entries as read.
Time to get those ace blog entries written!

If you can combine topics of interest in a single article, that would be great. The next time news surfaces about **** atheist Linux-using squid who practice Scandinavian archaelogy, you should get right on top of it.
*** Hmmm, your nanny filter will not let me use the word "n-U-d-E". It's not fair to filter out words you use yourself.
Go ahead and use any lewd expressions you like, I regularly check the junk filter and resurrect stuff that shouldn't have ended up there.

That unfortunately rules me out. Maybe you could have a go, and blog about the procedure.
Pär, you know I always say, "That Pär, he's a ***** ******* and he don't ***** a **** until it's *****".
Tegumai, luckily I am amply equipped with protective hair.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading that selection.
One of them though pissed me off as it always does. Circumcision is a crime. It is child abuse. It is a sexual perversion. Just to make my point clear.
A doctor who practices it, except in the one percent of the cases for medical reasons, should be prohibited from practicing medicine. An imam or a rabbi that does it should be jailed as any other pervert child molester. Is raping a child more/less serious than mutilating it?
I don't give a rat's ass about cultural traditions. Suppose some cultural group said "let's cut off a finger" or "let's cut off an ear"; it is our custom.
I agree. Isn't it funny that tattoo artists have better professional ethics regarding kids than circumcisionists have?
