Top Weird Universe Search Queries

According to Google Webmaster Tools, these are the top search queries (on google) that led people to Weird Universe. The "impressions" is the number of times a WU page was viewed on a google search results page. And the "clicks" is the number of times someone actually clicked on one of those search results and ended up at WU. Obviously we need to work on getting our 'tryptophobia' and 'russian porn' click-through rates up.

IIRC, I got here through a search on the J.B.S. Haldane quote. What does that say about me?

I think it speaks to how ubiquitous porn is on the net that people punched in queries for naked women and russian porn and ended up clicking on WU. What baffles me is how we barely got a third of the people who actually punched in 'weird universe'. Are there way more astronomers than I knew of or something?
