It's no secret that Fury is highly rated on Google. For dubious reasons I'm currently the #1 entry for "Strongbad", not counting the Strongbad site itself. I also get a bunch of search requests every day for things I mention on the site in passing. Most of the time they're relevant, but now and then I notice funny bits.

For example, the ever-changing tagline just under the main page header is responsible for at least a few google hits every day. I have about 40 different taglines that are rotated randomly, and so the googlebots get a pretty wide range of them, index them, and feed them to users searching for who-knows-what.

I am, for example, currently the 6th and 7th hit for 'I am currently away from the computer'. (this is where I was going to go through a bunch of my other taglines and show how highly they're ranked, only they're not. Mweh; how anticlimactic.)

Carry on!
