Back of the Envelope

I neglected to mention it over a week ago when it happened, but this blog passed the 100,000 visitor mark. As I mention every time I pass a new milestone in visitors, I'm not exactly a high traffic blogger, the sort who gets a hundred thousand in a day, but it's still a pretty good number. I get over a hundred visitors a day, but at least half of them are from Google visits. I'd like to get more traffic, of course, but these days I'm just not putting enough work into this blog to earn it. For all that, 100,000 is pretty darn good. I'm looking forward to a million.

I don't usually point out what searches lead people to this site. Parableman makes a regular feature of it, but I'm not really interested in doing so. However, this one was just... well, incredible, so I thought it'd be worth pointing out: "Did Jesus ride a unicorn to Babylon?" Apparently, I'm the first page to turn up on that search. Of course, that just points to a week (now a month since I've changed how the archives work) where I mentioned "Jesus", "unicorn", and "Babylon," but none in close proximity to one another. For the record, Jesus never rode a unicorn and never went to Babylon in the gospels. This could be a reference to Revelations 19, which talks about the Son of Man (Jesus) riding a white charger, and Babylon figures prominently in that book, but there's definitely no Unicorn there either.
