XKCD Experiment

Posted in , , and on Sat, 12th Jan 2008 at 13:06

My little experiment worked yesterday. As soon as I saw an xkcd cartoon claim that the phrase "died in a haberdashery accident" gave no results I was compelled to create a post with that name. Unsurprisingly, I'm now (as of the time of writing) the number one result for that phrase. I've had several hundred hits to that small and rather pointless post in the last twelve hours (the logs are compacted daily so I didn't bother to look farther back to the previous twelve hours the post was up).

Died in a haberdashery accident

From xkcd.

Those two results for "died in a blogging accident" both point to this MySpace post, which will no doubt make the poster in question very confused indeed about his new-found popularity.
