The Longest Now

Search as microcosm of the collective conscious

I love trolling the lists of searches that have led people to this blog. Many of them are beautiful

• chinese proverbs chaos
• alison pingree twins (from someone clearly looking for the teacher mentioned there)
• articles about chain gangs (from my tag)
• names of people who made history Wikipedia (a bit off)
• weather myths persimmons
• responsibility and delegation of authority (two similar searches in the past two days)
• beautiful wordings to comment
• :    ҉
  

Some are for people and names:

• dorothea lange
• rick rowley
• mehran karimi nasseri (popular, but behind the essay from The XO Directory)
  and, of course,
• “ben yates” and lehman

Some are for me… including the one by the friend of the guy who I talked to at 10:30pm ten days ago who must have been looking for my blog while browsing librarything before telling him to contact me.  I don’t know his name but I know what he was thinking about on which site at 6pm on October 2nd.  Who needs carnivores?

And finally, some are bizarre and great…

• electrocution hair dryer [major modern worry!]
• fourier manga guide [pt google]
• smelling shit [top hit!]
