May Search-Keyword Roundups
Not too long ago, Nicole reminded me of the fun I have reviewing the search terms that turn up in my blog's stats. I'm just now getting around to May's, though... Kinda feels like it's the first opportunity I've had. Anyway, here they are.- Biorobots and biorobotics are no surprise. I was surprised when Nicole pointed out that this blog is one of the top ten sites returned by Google for the former, though. I hope no one is relying on this site for reliable information on the topic. As a matter of fact, I hope no one is relying on this site for information on the topic. I don't know anything about biorobots except what the engineers and biologists tell me. And I forget most of that.
- Cockroach screensaver -- Yeah, okay, I'm really not asking. No, no, I said I'm not asking, and I meant I'm not asking. Really, I'm not.
...All right, fine! Why on earth do you want a cockroach screensaver?! There, I cracked, are you happy? - Pentium versus Celeron -- Pentium has an L2 cache onboard, Celeron doesn't, last I checked. If you're buying a computer to check e-mail, write letters, and see what that Internet thing is, a Celeron will do just fine. But buy an AMD chip instead.
- Artificial stupidity computing -- This one puzzles me insofar as it keeps turning up. I even tried Googling this one myself and I'm still kind of baffled. "Artificial stupidity," depending who you're talking to, is an artificially intelligent system doing what the programmer told it instead of what the programmer intended; a human trait; a doomsday scenario with a malfunctioning robot; or... God knows what. Are these people looking for a brain-damage algorithm? Or instructions for creating a Robot Army of Doom? I'm lost.
- Will there really be a morning? -- No. Pop music lied to you and the sun burned out in the middle of the night. Sorry.
- 14 points of wilson comment -- This struck me as totally off the wall until I Googled "14 points of wilson," which for any history-impaired folk like me turns out to be one of those boring historic documents full of points and theories and social justice, like the Declaration of Independence or the Ninety-Five Theses or Letterman's Top-Ten Lists or just about anything any "strong-minded" blogger has ever written. This particular snore was written by Woodrow Wilson, and it seems to be at least related to his goofy views on international relations... Some kind of nonsense about nations having the right to autonomy or something.
A lot of these terms would probably make more sense if I Googled them, but I kinda like the mystery. - Download artificial intelligence media players for Windows -- Would this be a media player that's artificially intelligent? Or a player for artificially intelligent media? An artificially intelligent media-player would be kinda cool. Maybe it could be like Amazon's recommendation system.
- Mark Wilson poster -- Yes. Soon we hope to have a limited number of autographed 22x34" posters featuring a black-and-white photo of me in a muscle shirt which may once have been white and unspeakably grungy pants, glaring angrily, yet with an indefinable air of the whiny teenager, down at the viewer. I promise not to shave for several days before the shoot. After that we may expand into black-and-white photos of me in grungy clothes looking soulful. We're also looking into black-and-white photos of me looking contemplative, as though my brain is in some way functional, but we're not sure I can pull that one off. There may be a special edition poster featuring black and white photos of black and white photos.
- eMachines desktop overheating -- Heh, just noticed this. Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me in the least, particularly if you've dropped in some new components. Get a new case with some cooling ability and transfer all the hardware over, or get a trustworthy shop to do it for you.
- Bullet points blog -- Yep, many of them. See above on "14 points of Wilson." See also this entry.
- And the best for last, ladies and gentlemen, once again, it's Fluffy and God's Amazing Christmas Adventure!
An abomination, incidentally. Not in the sense one might connect "abomination" to a game from a "Christian publishing house," just an abomination against common sense, good taste, and good gaming. God explains the Christmas story to an animated SHEEP? Look up Reader Rabbit or something.
Why would anyone be searching for this, anyway?
And that's all for May. Tune in next month for more wacky search phrases.

Mark, I can't comprehend you not knowing about Woodrow Wilson's 14 points. Actually, I was surprised that that Animaniacs song didn't mention them. They were, you know, a major reason for halting the fighting in WWI.
I am exceedingly lucky that peanut butter is sticky and therefore remained in my mouth when I burst into laughter over this. I mean, you completely forgot that the shoot has to take place on a beach and your hair has to be noticeably damp. Oh, and the petulent teenager thing just won't work on a geezer like you. :-P
Remember that HP2 "essay" I showed you? People who believe that would much rather have their children led through the Christmas holiday by an animated SHEEP than allow their children to read books/see movies involving boiling babies pulled alive from the ground or the defamation of Our Lord Tom the Son.
