I find the search strings that lead internet surfers here to S&S very interesting. Many are obvious and not surprising, others are remarkably odd. Other bloggers find 'search analysis' quite interesting too. A while back, John took the time to answer or address some of his search inquiries directly. I like his idea and have a desire to accomplish something similar, yet significantly less serious:

1. effects of sarcasm on children - Entirely positive; just look how I turned out.
   
2. graph of the eye of the potato - Hmmmm,...not a clue
   
3. do we know why mute swans hold their necks in s positions - Yes.
   
4. wingspan owlet moth - 2 to 4.5 cm
   
5. how much was spent in 2005 on mosquito repellency? - A lot. Sorry that's probably not helpful.
   
6. what temperature does snow freeze - Uh, 32 ^oF (0 ^oC)

18. why was the hawk named pale male - HE has unusually light colored plumage.

23. how does a cold air return work? - The heated air blown into the room has to go somewhere and the furnace needs to get air from somewhere. The cold air return completes the loop.
