According to Sitemeter, Not Exactly Rocket Science passed 2,000,000 page views today!!! Virtual hugs, high-fives and fist-bumps all round.
As near as I can make out, the hit that did it came from Israel and was directed to yesterday's autism post via Stumbleupon.
A quick retrospective calculation tells me that it took the first 35 months of NERS to get the first million hits and the last 7 to get the second million. I really am constantly delighted and humbled by the fact that people are actually reading this and that more seem to do so. Thanks to all of you for reading.

i thought that was awful fast! good job on that. you earned it.
I am your fan and learn about good science writing in every post.
Congrats, Ed.
I became your reader after the brilliant Ida post (how right you were on that!). The problem with science is that so much is coming out every year - almost every month - that it's hard, especially for a layman, to keep up. Your blog is a terrific resource.
Congratulations, Ed! It is so well deserved.
Nicely done, Ed. And thank you for writing such informative posts.
Congrats Ed. That's quite something. A million hits in 7 months? Wow. You certainly deserve an even wider readership, so keep it up! :-)
Congrats! Ah Cape Town... the place I call home. Im up Lions Head on Friday evening for sun downers!
Yay. Congrats! Also, awsome picture!
Bravo ! I'm sure you'll get to 3 millions even quicker!
Congratulations!
Today, 2 million, tomorrow, the world XD
I've told like 5 people myself about this site, it really is great. I think the first thing I read from you was something about an octopus back at wordpress XD. IDK when this was or what the article was even about, but w/e. I've come to your site nearly everyday, for a very long time. Congrats!
Thanks to you for writing! I really enjoy this blog!
And congrats, it's well deserved!
