What the Blog is Going On Here?

Regular Readers,
I don't want you to get big-brothered-out here, but yes, on occasion, I do check out my Sitemeter stats on the blog, just to see what entries tend to strike the most visitors, or to see from what regions of the world my visitors tend to hail from as a result of recent posts. It's no surprise that, due to my collaboration with my friend Diwakar Maskey in Nepal, I'm seeing a small bump in viewership in Central Asia, which is a neat association. And, through friendships in Morocco, I see occasional bumps there after speaking to friends in that country, or Norway, as a result as well. The Sitemeter function has a neat index allowing a blog owner to view recent activity by country, by length of visit, etc - and today, I accidentally clicked on "by referral" - which showed me the recent activity by way of the search terms that users typed in, eventually leading them to my humble pages and images.

Imagine my surprise when seeing the following. Apparently, it referred the viewer to essentially my current home page, which happens to contain a number of the words in the search parameters.

Apparently, it takes all kinds.......I just hope this had nothing to do with that psycho astronaut stalker case in Florida, because, scarily, the timing was about right...... Although I'd have to think that an astronaut would be able to spell the word "wear" correctly, even if enraged and about to embark on a cross-country stalking adventure.
