Things I Learned from My Web Stats
You know, the statistics from this web site are pretty interesting to us. Many folks find their way here via a home improvement topic or maybe a phrase that exists in our "What on Earth?" section.
And some search engine phrases...well...we don't know how they connect to us.
But we learn a lot from them.
For instance, a searcher recently typed in "how fast does a spider run?" and it directed them to our web page. Because we HAVE discussed spiders, but have not answered this specific question, I became curious. How fast DOES a spider run...on your bedroom ceiling...at 2:00 am?
Luckily, this site had a clue. It tells us that a spider can run 330 times its length in 10 seconds. That is too fast to make me comfortable. That means a one inch long spider can sprint from 27.5 feet ACROSS THE ROOM to ABOVE MY HEAD in 10 seconds. If I don't see it before it sees me, that is.
Another reader typed in the word, "Pootatuck". I had no idea what this meant. Except that it didn't sound polite.
NOW I know that Pootatuck is a brand of tools
I have not pursued the following:
- feminist reading of leave it to beaver (now, THIS does NOT sound polite)
- planning the perfect kitchen juta
- where do i get screw grab - We THINK this is what they meant. We think.
- mr peanut accessories - Mr. Peanut shops for accessories?
- mr. peanut clothing - Mr. Peanut has CLOTHING? I thought he just had the hat and cane!
- cat traveling sprinkler - Many cats ARE traveling sprinklers, yes.
- predator-urine - See previous.
- Cowboy Chic
- squangle - This word would not fly in a game of Scrabble.
- husqvarna rancher 55 discontinued?
- i bought a house with asbestos tile - This sounds like a Reader's Digest article.
- how much does norm abram make on this old house - Whatever it is, you deserve it, Norm-old-pal.
- Progress with viktor schauberger
- domestic bliss -- oh yes. Home improvement=domestic bliss. No question.

Oh, Oh! (Waving hand in the air) We have a squangle on our workbench! It's a little metal T-square whose crossbar is adjustable so it gives other angles also. Square + Angle = Squangle. There's a little bubble level thrown in for good measure. Sounds weird, but if you have one, you will love it.
