Google Triumph!

6 November, 2006 9:32 am by Geoff

To my amusement, my trawling through referral statistics and the like have uncovered a top class achievement. The number 1 page for “Geoff with girlfriend” on a Google Search is….. you guessed it – TheGeoffRe(y)port! It’s a proud day! I’d like to thank all the people who made this possible, specifically, um, my girlfriend.

(And to think you people were actually asking for more Bec related posts…..)

    There are some absolutley wierd strings that get to us though.

    No Sam, I found this out because someone actually got to my site by googling “Geoff with girlfriend”. So I’ve got a stats collection doo-dad that tells me these things.

    Such triumphs blind the acclaimee to the real and present danger of undertaking abducktions. Compensation in the form of 1 tafuli’ae may yet be claimed in the cause of restoring the psyduckological balance of victims.

    The word duck from (Anglo-Saxon duce) meaning the bird, came from the verb “to duck” (from Anglo-Saxon supposed *ducan) meaning “to bend down as if to get under something”, because of the way many species in the dabbling duck group feed by upending (compare the Dutch word duiken = “to dive”). This happened because the older Old English word for “duck” came to be pronounced the same as the word for “end”: other Germanic languages still have similar words for “duck” and “end”: for example, Dutch eend = “duck”, eind = “end”; compare Latin anas (stem anat-) = “duck”, Sanskrit anta (masc.) = “end”, Lithuanian antis = “duck”.
