Interesting. I am surprised that "Irukandji jellyfish" came so high up on the
list... is there some anomoly here?
Jellyfish wasn't on the list at all last night; the statistics are
sampling (I think) one in five thousand pageviews, so it's quite
likely a glitch. They've only been running for a couple of days, and
I'd strongly advise against treating them as reliable until at least a
fortnight in.
That said... JonBenet Ramsay is interesting - it surged last night and
with no link from the front page. Interesting to see how quickly our
use (apparently) reacts to news stories. The sex-related ones - lists
of porn stars etc - were consistently high and are now dropping; I
wonder where they'll stabilise at.
(It could just be they're more popular at weekends...)
