Since Ken just posted up his
search results
, I thought I'd share the results of mine too. His site still gets way more hits than mine, but my results are equally entertaining.


Ever since I posted about Jonathan Brandis and his (possibly) Acutane related death, he's shown up on my stats every single month. However, some clarifications:


  • I do not hate the Toyota Prius Digital Speedometer. While I find the orientation of it is not where I expect it to be, it does make me mind my speed a bit more.
  • You will find no ipod Celica here. I have ideas on how this can be done, but I don't have the time to do this just yet. I thought about doing it this Sunday, but we'll see.
  • If you are searching for Betina and Hans on my site, I don't have their wedding pictures posted up yet. Sorry.
  • It's "Captain Corelli's Mandolin", not "Captain Corelli's Mandarin". Until this showed up on my keyphrases, I had never even heard of the movie. I guess I talk about Mandarin enough on my blog, and the Mandolin connection must have come in from my one post on Stradavarius Violins...
  • I don't really keep up with HK cinema, much less Andy Lau, but I did hear that Matt Damon and Leonardo diCaprio will be in the US remake of Infernal Affairs (retitled "The Departed") which will be directed by Martin Scorsese.
  • You will not find a download of "A Moment of Romance". Rent it from Greencine.
  • I am not a college student, and I do not own a C-Class or a 3-series. I own a Celica and an 8-series. Mercedes don't excite me (except for the McLaren SLR).
  • There are no Pictures of Princess Leia in the Detention Cell here. Move Along. I think the only time I've ever mentioned that part of Star Wars on this blog is in reference to Marshall's dialogue on an episode of Alias
  • As far as I know, it is not possible to convert Coca-Cola to Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) or vice-versa. Maybe in some point in the distant future, but certainly not in 2004!
  • I hate Raymond Feist, and I hate Krondor. PDFs are okay.
  • You can convert a Toyota Camry to an fully electric vehicle, however lighter cars make better candidates for electric conversion. Cost of conversion will run at least 10 grand though.


For the list of keyphrases, see the extended entry.
