1000 Hits!

Did you know …

That the Daily Science Fact blog received its 1000th visit this past weekend? It’s true! And, as it happens, this is its 100th post! That means that each fact, on average, got 10 looks.

At least that’s how math would have you see it. According to the actual stats, most individual facts receive zero looks, while the more popular entries top out at about 3 or 4. Still, though, that’s 1000 visits to the main page, where you get your actual science fact for the day!

I know what you’re thinking, and, yes, the vast majority of those visits come from non-humans. I don’t mean, like, from chimps and whales (although maybe a few came from non-human animals?), I mean that they mostly come from computer programs designed to click on things, presumably with the hope that you’ll click back on them. That’s not so bad as far as I’m concerned! It’s sort of like how I like to walk through the mall pointing at people, with the hope that they’ll point back at me. Yeah, we’re not exactly interacting on a deeply spiritual level, but … maybe we are. Maybe the same goes for Internet robots.

Some other things that there are 1000 of:

1) Varieties of cherries

2) Years in a millennium

3) Wills in a Willennium

4) Exciting thoughts, runnin’ through my head

5) Mice in a jar

6) Pounds in any given cow

7) Lightning strikes to equal the power of one punch from Mike Tyson (someone did the math a while back)
