so this one time, in my blog stats...

Every so often I check my blog stats on sitemeter. I don't check often because it's never really that exciting, and I know pretty much who is reading it (hi Mum!). The most interesting part is looking at the google searches that led people here, but the vast majority of the time the search terms are either my name, or the name of the blog. Google doesn't have to work too hard for those...

But today... well, today was different. In the last week I had two very interesting, somewhat bizarre searches that sent someone here. The first came from Canada on January 8th and was...

"Granny making love to Grandpa"

*Ahem*

Interesting.

They landed on a story about my parents visiting, which clearly did not hold their interest because they left again almost immediately. Sorry to disappoint...

The second search though was the one that really surprised me...

"Old Grannies and Grandpas making love"

And to that I say... WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON HERE?!

And it's not even the same person! This one came from the UK!

So here's the thing. My stats only go back 6 days because they're free. In the last 6 days there were 7 google searches that led people here, and 2 out of 7 were searches for grannies and grandpas getting friendly. If I had 10,000, or even 1,000 searches, and 2 were for grandparent nookie, I might be less surprised, though I still don't really see the appeal, but 2 out of 7? That's just weird.

Still, let's look on the bright side... at least they're looking for Grannies having sex with Grandpas and not.. you know... something else. That's pretty wholesome, considering the possibilities.

So welcome, blog visitors searching for Grannies and Grandpas copulating. You won't find it here, but we're not judging...

And these people are reproducing...

There's an online forum that I check out from time to time called the bump. They have pregnancy information, and various message boards for women who are pregnant, have children, in various family situations, etc. There's a large amount of stupidity, ignorance, and general insanity that you see posted by people on a daily basis, and it's usually both entertaining and informative to check in from time to time and see what's being discussed...

Well last night, innocently sandwiched between posts with such titles as "Welcome back Rebecca" and "Anyone else having an all nighter?" was this gem...

Any truth in this........

Saw this post on a community forum today, and was wondering if there is any truth to it. Anyone know?

Obama's democratic party is considering an option for the public health care that involve what is called "...late term Post Birth Abortions..." This would allow for the abortion of babies after birth, up to 96 weeks after birth. WOW!!! That is almost a 2 year old! I believe it will be done just like partial birth abortions by sucking out the brains with a tube. But this is said to require some anasthetic.

Seriously, you have to ask a public message board if it's possible that the president is considering making it legal to murder two year old children? Good grief! That alone is bad enough. But what really took the cake on this one is the responses. You can hope that maybe the original post was trying to stir up some drama, or be funny somehow, but the responses she got were completely sincere... responses such as...

Is there any news source to back this up? It sounds bogus...

Um, no. There is no news source that supports the assertion that Obama is planning to make it legal to murder 2 year olds.

Ive been searching and havent found anything regaurding this on the web, so it is probably bogus.

Yep... probably. Can't be sure though.

I just googled it and there is nothing that comes up saying that Obama is proposing anything of the like.

Well if you're able to use Google, there's no need to actually use your brain.

If it isn't made up that's diabolical and I regret voting for the man.

Me too, anonymous internet idiot, me too.

And my favourite by far...

That seems like such an extreme idea that I struggle to imagine it's true, but I'm in NZ and have no idea if it is true or not.

If it is true, are they talking about babies with certain health complications? Or just any parent who says, "nah I don't really want to do this anymore?"

The latter just seems so ridiculous with so many people keen to adopt.

Yeah, because if we heard that John Key, New Zealand's smiley faced prime minister, was proposing that it should be legal to murder two year olds, I'd consider that it might be true because I don't live there, so really, how should I know. SERIOUSLY?!! And of course, the fact that people may want to adopt these children is what makes it ridiculous. Someone needs to check the drinking water down there in New Zealand, because it appears to be turning people insane.

I'm horrified that not only are these people all reproducing, but their children will be Fiona's classmates. Good luck, public education system, you've got your work cut out for you.
