I love referrer logs. Most of them are pretty boring. Friends, blogger, whatever. The ones that are hilarious are the search engine referrer entries, though. Take some recent examples:

http://google.yahoo.com/bin/query?p=hawkins+tinasky&hc=0&hs=0

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=tinasky+wanda+hawkins

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=wanda+tinasky+hawkins

http://google.yahoo.com/bin/query?p=thomas+hawkins+tinasky&hc=0&hs=0

http://www.google.com/search?q=tom+hawkins+tinasky

What's so funny about these is that they're all from the same person. It's not enough that they tried changing the search by just re-arranging the words or going to yahoo instead of directly to google. It's that they kept clicking on the same link. The especially funny part of this is that this page will end up in google, so the next time they try it, I'll be peeking at them again.

I actually have "retarded superman", so how the person got here isn't a mystery. What baffles me, though, is what the heck were they actually looking for?

Hope mom found something good for the kids.

Huh???

Another of the "exactly what were you looking for?" variety.

http://www.google.com/search?q=new%2Bjersey%2Btemplate%2Bbmp%2Bformat&\hl=en&start=10&sa=N

No comment. Just weird.

I hope this person found what they needed to avoid having to do their homework.
