Strange search-engine queries (197)
This presentation is a bipartisan effort, in the sense that a small percentage of these might not have actually come from Google, but from some other vendor of basically the same sort of search stuff.
fastest profit.com: Affiliated with quickest disillusionment.org.
“political breakdown” “independent voters”: I suspect that if we do have a breakdown, it won’t be because of the independents.
no boyfriend, sick of nsa sex, not meeting anyone, celibacy seems like a punishment, help? If you’re truly sick of NSA sex, celibacy might actually be an improvement; if nothing else, you’d stand a better chance of landing an actual boyfriend instead of just someone to take up half the bed. Not that I’d know anything about that.
why don’t we feel the earth moving? Too much NSA sex, maybe.
i do not wear socks: Are you bragging or complaining?
why textbooks suck: Ask any student.
glenn danzig doing yardwork: I wonder if he’s going to move that circle of snakes.
stinky cocaine: You might want to keep it away from your nose, then.
America’s most rat-infested city is Baltimore: It depends on what your definition of “rat” is. I think you could make a pretty good case for Washington, D.C.
undergarments for unshapely body parts: Well, I should hope so.
what does amazingly fugly mean: Do you, perchance, own a mirror?
dustbury post office fremont ca: This must be around that marshland on the east side where hardly anyone lives.
Obligatory Rule 34 item: Biped Robot Kit Newt.

As a rule, I don’t try to trace these unless they resonate strangely. (I mean, more strangely.)

“NSA sex”…? Those guys are supposed to be reading terrorists’ e-mails, not pr0n spam!

I’m guessing “nsa” is “no strings attached,” which I thought was called (but maybe just used to be called) “friends with benefits”
though McGehee’s explanation gives a lot more interesting mental pictures. Or maybe not.
at least it’s not TSA sex. Now that would be scary.

FWB and NSA intersect, but do not coincide; NSA does not presume friendship, or even prior acquaintance.
(Or so I’ve been told. My personal experience with this sort of thing is right up there with my personal experience of the space shuttle.)

Still works for the other meaning too.

As to the “why textbooks suck”, I suspect that most of my classmates could detail *how* they suck, but not why. None of them have ever read anything from Thomas Sowell (“Inside American Education:) or Diane Ravitch (“The Language Police”).
As to many of your search strings, why do you have so many complete sentences? Almost all of the hits on my blog (when I was still blogging) were for keywords strung together, with a few chilling exceptions.

When I first started getting complete sentences, I assumed it was students doing homework. (Because, you know, textbooks suck.)
Nowadays I figure either it’s people looking for a quote but who don’t know who said it, or people who just don’t know how to use the system efficiently.
