Or maybe the programmers goose the likelihood that fringe products will show up to make the results more interesting. As your blog demonstrates, your interests are very eclectic, which make them inherently more difficult to model and predict than if you were a diehard fan of Hardy Boy mysteries. I wonder if enough occurrences of "fro" might call up a contextual ad in the same category ...

And boy am I glad I did today!! The imagery of some skinny comic nerd jumping aroung imitating Afro Samurai in his undies with a towel draped over his shoulders as a make-shift cape is enough to brighten my ENTIRE miserable day!! BTW:~ There ain't nothing better than Grilled Cheese!!! But let's be honest, where else would you go to shop for an Afro wig?? I couldn't think of anywhere else that wouldn't cause major embarrassment!! Chris, It feels like forever since I browsed through your site!! And boy am I glad I did today!!
