I logged onto my statcounter yesterday morning (yeah, don’t tell me you don’t do the same thing every day…if you’re a blogger you’re a stat-addict…it’s a given) and got the happy surprise of seeing my visitor numbers had more than doubled their average daily amount. Hmm…perhaps a belated surge because of blogday I thought, or someone higher up on the blogging food chain has said something nice…or something not so nice…about my blog.
So I scrolled on down to the External Links section…nothing unusual there…and then down to the Google search results. Aaaah, it all became clear. It seems the demise of a certain crocodile hunter had a lot of people tapping his name into Google and finding their way to this post I did last year. Sorry folks, I don’t think that was quite what you were looking for, but welcome all the same.
Mind you, since you’re here, why don’t I see if I can answer some of your queries:
steve irwin is gone? – Yes, I’m sorry, it’s true: the animal kingdom finally got the better of Mr Irwin when a stingray stung him in the heart while he was out filming the Great Barrier Reef.
was steve irwin in neighbours – Although he would have spiced up the Aussie soap, I’m pretty sure Steve was never a resident of Ramsay Street. I could be wrong…a long lost son of Harold‘s perhaps come to wrestle crocks in Lassiter’s pond?
steve irwin murder – Ah, a conspiracy theorist are we? So who do you think it was? A shadowy government cabal who paid the stingray to bump him off? Hmmm, you might have something there.
steve irwin jokes – You don’t waste any time do you? I guess you’re over the initial grief then?
steve irwin stupid – Oooh…definitely over the grief. A bit harsh in this instance I think but there are some who would agree with you.
film of steve irwin dyeing – Wow, yet another string to his bow. So nice to know he was interested in one of the more traditional textile crafts…hang on a minute…
film of steve irwin dying/watch steve irwin dying – OK, now that’s just a little bit twisted. Considering this was the second most popular search (after the jokes one) I’m starting to think you internet people are messed up.
RIP Steve
