Curious….

It’s always rather entertaining to look at the details of my site statistics and see what people are searching for.
Naturally, most of the most recent searches are about the Solstice, where and how and when; gratifying to see that I can provideso many people with some info on that. One search query had me bemused: “yorkshire naked solstice 2005”. Riiiiiiight, I think I know where you’re coming from….
Another one, not Solstice-related, has me rather baffled: “december 26th doomsday”. Why hasn’t anybody told me about that? I need to put it in the Events listing straight away!

ETA: Just Googled that last one, and found that it’s connected to an allegedly simple mathematical method for mentally calculating what weekday any date falls on. Doesn’t look that simple to me, but you can try it for yourself: The Doomsday Alogrithm.
And no, they don’t explain why it’s called that.
