Anyone who reads my GreatestJournal has probably seen my SiteMeter Referrals-o-the-Day before, but if not, click explanation:
SiteMeter is one of the counters/site stats thing I have on my site. It tracks how many visitors I get, where they're from (city, state, country), what pages they view, and how they get to my site. My favorite stat is how they get to my site, otherwise known as a referral, 1) because it lets me know which other sites have me linked, and 2) because it shows me the crazy stuff people type into Google or other search engines that somehow gets them to a page on my site. It's pretty hilarious.
I used to check the thing every day, and now it's more like every few days or less (whenever I get bored enough to remember, basically), and I post the funny search engine referrals. Instead of posting them in my GJ, I thought I'd just start a thread and collect them here.
So to start out, here's today's Referrals-o-the-Day!
From Yahoo Search: arnold schwarzanegger in swim trunks

From Yahoo Search: vomit nick howie sick
search.yahoo.com/search?p=vomit nick howie sick &ei=UTF-8&fr=yfp-t-501&b=21
From Yahoo Search: Nsync fanfiction kidnapped
search.yahoo.com/search?p=Nsync fanfiction kidnapped&toggle=1&cop=mss&ei=UTF-8&xargs=0&pstart=1&fr=yfp-t-501&b=11
Those are actually not too funny compared to some of the ones I get (anything from Ask.com is almost sure to be hilarious), but that gives you a taste for now.
