Christmas – and sayin’ I’m surprised, I’d lie –
again came to fast for all gifts to buy
for many, just look!
A merry holiday and full banquet dishes,
some quiet time, all the best wishes
for you from Cimddwc.

Fractal thongs are a biohazard
At least, somehow “G-string/thong” and “biohazard warning sign” crossed my mind when I looked at the fractal title of the latest edition (1/08) of the magazine Spektrum der Wissenschaft (German edition of Scientific American)…:
The magazine itself – which I’ve been reading for many years now – is, of course, more serious and respectable and much less crazy than my thoughts sometimes are. And more worth reading. 
A lifetime of searching
All my life i’ve been searching for something. And now you found it, yoohoo! And here we are, right inside the next edition of search query analyses…
(Search queries have a grey background; I added some commas for readability and capitalized some beginnings of sentences, but didn’t make them shorter or longer. And I translated the German ones.)

And we’re already in the right christmas mood, it’s christmas, give me all your money – baby call me crazy but i know you feel it too, cause you look and you think and you see a— see what? Say it to my face, look me in the eyes and say what you have to say!

There’s a man that i think im gonna love forever, and forever we’ll be together. Great for you, but (1) i don’t mind, i don’t care, don’t you know that?, and (2) why are you telling Google?
