One of the things I love about blogging is checking out my site stats, and in particular, the search terms people typed that brought them to me.
Some people have come my way in their search for answers to the big questions, so I shall now endeavour to help them.
1. Tiger head up vs tiger head down?
Well, this is just my theory, but if the tiger’s head is up then they’re more likely to see you than if their head is down. This is probably worthwhile remembering if you don’t want to be eaten by one.
Here’s some pictures to help illustrate my point.

2. Why do trolls hide under bridges?
I suspect it’s because they’re hiding from all the people they’ve pissed off on the Interweb thingee.
3. Why have i got faries?
I tried Googling faries in the hope that it was some sort of communicable disease, but it turns out that you just made a spelling mistake. Here is the correct spelling – fairies. You’re welcome.
You probably acquired your fairies by saying the magic words that enabled them to cross the realm into our World.
P.S. You’re stuck with them now.
4. How does a child’s brain work?
At birth a baby’s brain is wired to make the heart beat and to breathe, but there are 100 billion or so neurons ready to form more than 50 trillion connections (synapses). Early-childhood experiences exert a dramatic and precise impact, physically determining how the intricate neural circuits of the brain are wired. This means that each child’s brain will be wired a little differently.
But if you actually want an understanding of what’s going on in their little heads, then this drawing by Melissa Balmain should help.

5. Why do kids say pie?
Mmmmm pie. Well, assuming your kids aren’t mathematical geniuses who are actually saying pi, I’m guessing that they’re just hungry for a bit of deliciousness wrapped in pastry.
Or it could just be that you’re totally mishearing what they’re saying.
6. Why are dinosaurs so stubborn?
This is one of those life questions that I regularly ask myself. Every time I pop back in time a few million years I wonder why these creatures won’t do as they’re told. I suspect it has something to do with how big they are and how much I look like lunch.

I hadn’t realised that my blog was such a den of pervesevness until people started finding it with the term ‘bumholing’. What’s worse is that when I told the story of my son bumholing at the beach, I didn’t realise it was an actual word or what it meant. Bet the people who were looking for it were pretty disappointed when they got to my blog. Maybe they should get together with the people who found me with the searches ‘Ode to my butt’, ‘butt crack’, or ‘dirty behaviour’.
And finally, it makes my heart soar to know that search engines know me well enough to be able to direct people to my blog when they’re searching for ‘just plain weird’.
I’ve been wondering about the dinosaurs, too. Even when they know they are wrong, they never admit it, do they? Stubborn lizards.
Just like males really
One of the funniest “how people found my blog” posts I’ve ever seen. LOVE IT!
Awww thanks Anna. I’m tingling all over now :0)
Awesome! I need to do a post like this. I’ve had such search terms as “polygamist + rare genetic disorder”. That one’s my favorite.
polygamist + rare genetic disorder? The mind boggles. Look forward to reading your post when you write it.
#1 is absolutely my favorite. Your explanation made me crack up. Found you at finding the funny, again!
Thanks so much
This is hilarious! I love the question about dinosaurs being stubborn. Your responses were perfect! Ha!
Thanks for linking this up to #findingthefunny this week, BTW!
Thanks for having me. So many funny link ups on there – it’s my favourite place to head to when I have a few minutes up my sleeve.
Thanks Kelley. That was my favourite question too. I’d love to know why someone felt the need to do a search on it.
bumholing. too funny. now I have to check and see what searches bring people to my blog. thanks for the laugh!
these are so hilarous. who knew dinosaurs were stubborn? and what good does finding out the answer to that question help now – i wonder if the searcher knows there are no dinosaurs around, stubborn or not? here from #FindingtheFunny!
Woo hoo! You were one of the most clicked links at last week’s Finding the Funny party. We’re featuring you tomorrow, and I’ve pinned this!
