Fact: The Internets are a Strange Place

Mission Almost Accomplished.

Just for shits and giggles, go over to the googles and do a search for Assertions of Fact. I'll wait.

Yeah, I'm just as surprised as your are. Assertions of Fact, in only a week or so of existence, has cracked the top three in results for the ever increasingly popular web engine search: "Assertions of Fact". The Internets (and to a lesser extent God) work in strange ways.

Let's look at the first two results who, unjustifiably so, stand in the way of our rapid assent to the top of the google leaderboard. Number one is a review of Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 911 by the New York Times. Do I even need to write anything about Michael Moore that the caption of the book to the right doesn't already state. That and everybody knows that the French have been writing the Times' op eds for years. FACT.

Number two is ....well I don't know what number two is. It's something about journalism. I honestly couldn't get past the first paragraph. It's just a bunch of words on a blank page that has no zombies or chupacabras. It's a piece of shit result.

There's no explanation for why this is so. This is not how the machinations of a modern society should probably be operating. I imagine that the internet is powered by millions of hamsters running on those little wheel-thingies while high on acid. All I can say for now is that Google's good, they've got some smart people working over there, and in about another week, we'll be the number one result.

On a side note, the number one result for "Helen Mirren Gilf FACT" is, of course, us. According to the traffic tracker that we have, some of your have found this page through that search. For all I know, some of you are reading this very post as a result of doing that search. All is right in the world.
