More disturbing Google searches

Uh-oh.

Periodically, via Sitemeter, I like to check out what sorts of searches are leading people to my humble blog.

Update: 13 Aug. I've added a new post that I think provides a clearer explanation for the reason that this sort of behavior is such an irritant when it comes from a company like Elsevier. Like most bloggers, I have an ego. I'm not mentioning that by way of apology, but as an explanation for why…

I get a lot of hits from searches about Indian women of an older persuasion engaging in certain acts...generally from the middle east.

This is troubling because being Indian, and knowing a lot of Indian women 'at a certain age' every now and then a mental image gets past my internal firewall built up by years of locker room bawdiness...and the retching commences.

Hey, I totally feel you on this one.

I found out recently, via the same method, that I'm the #3 out of 4.86 million on Google for the search term "Poo Love".
