Michael Phelps – An Experiment

Monday, June 30th, 2008

Baltimore’s own Michael Phelps broke the world record in the 400-meter at the Olym­pic Trials yesterday.

Now I could care less about the Olym­pics, which are being held in a place where the words human and rights rarely go together, but it is con­ve­nient for this easy, end of the wee­kend, care­free post of insignificance.

Some time back, three years of so to be exact, I wrote a post con­tai­ning am AIM someone sup­po­sedly had with Michael Phelps. In that same post I refe­ren­ced pubic hair. I believe I was com­plai­ning about peo­ple tal­king about pubic hair during final exams at school.The two items were not rela­ted. They just hap­pe­ned to be in the same post.

I recei­ved tons of hits from that post, much of the searches were for “Michael Phelps”, some for “pubic hair”, but sur­pri­singly many – more than one would ever guess any­way – were for “Michael Phelps pubic hair”.

To this day ( con­si­der I only check my stats a cou­ple of times a week and can only see the last 100, because I am cheap and will not pay to see more ), I find hits for Michael Phelps pubic hair. I’m not sure if they think I have pho­tos, or if they are trying to purchase some of his pubic hair.

Either way, I ima­gine his pubic hair is more valua­ble after yes­ter­day, so this is just a bur­ning the mid­night oil expe­ri­ment. Just to see if there will be a pum­ping of of the volume of searches for Michael Phelps pubic hair.
