Along came a spider...
Posted by Vicki Scholtz | 5 Jun, 2007The Cow chuttered with amusement. "Look!" she called to Gramsci. "Celia's post on Al-Jazeera has almost 800 hits! Even posts on penis size get nowhere near that!!"
Gramsci looked up in amazement. "Wow!" he conceded. "That must be an all-time blogspot record! UCT staff and students must be really hungry for a more moderate news perspective!"
"If only!" sighed the Cow. "I suspect it's more likely bots than humans. Did you notice how, when I mentioned wanting to bomb the US Embassy, both my hit count and the blogspot activity emanating from US Military IP addresses spiked?"
Gramsci hadn't, but then he was distracted by other possibilities. "Do you think," he ventured, his arachnoidal eyes twinkling brightly, "if they send spiders to investigate, there might be some sexy females among them?"
