On a somewhat lazy Sunday afternoon ...

... I did something that I hadn't done for a very long time. For some unfathomable reason, I was moved to click Next Blog at the top of the blog that I has been reading. As someone much younger might say, I was weirded out by the results. I was transported to 15 non-English blogs in a row. So, I tied it again — seven times as a matter of fact — just to see how random that result had been. The highest number of consecutive foreign-language blogs that I hit in those seven experiments was 5 while 2 was the most common number. The highest number that I ever obtained for consecutive English blogs was 2.

What does this mean?

The answer is obvious.

I had too much time on my hands.

I absolutely love the black-and-white photo of your granddaughter in her hat.

I did it once and every 7th site was a porn site. I've never done it since.

I have never done it.. but of course after reading your post.. I had to give it a try. I quit after the third foreign (at least to me) language blog. Seems rather odd that this happens.. are we Enlgish speaking bloggers that much of a minority.

I did that once too, and got a series of foreign languages. I stopped at about 8 and haven't bothered with it since. Thank God I didn't find a porn one. That might have been difficult to explain.
