StumbleUpon is one of my top traffic generators. Besides the visitors that come directly to your domain, most traffic is generated by search engine results or some other type of search. Social media sites and online bookmarking sites are another way to explode your traffic. I started paying attention to my StumbleUpon traffic after writing about the StumbleUpon Effect several months ago. This is the information for September. As you can see from the last post in March, StumbleUpon has been very nice to me. well, not just StumbleUpon but they great people that use it. How to get more StumbleUpon Traffic One of the hardest and most rewarding efforts I took on with StumbleUpon was building my network. Like any other social media sites, your network is everything. Get some friends. Initially I started doing this just by seeing who else was stumbling the same types of sites as me. I found some fun people online that had found some great sites so I just  subscribed to their favorites and them looked for the people that were also stumbling the same sites. It didn't take long to have a good number of people that I was following and some were in turn ...

What do you do when you think your child is doing drugs? Well, like most people, you write to your local paper's "know it all" and ask them what they think. This is a prime example of parents wanting to to right by their children and at the same time becoming the butt of a joke that get's printed in black and white.

I’ve been thinking about this bailout. I’ve decided  I'm against the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG. Instead, I'm in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to America in a We Deserve It Dividend. To make the math simple, let's assume there are 200,000,000 bonafide U.S. Citizens 18+. Our population is about 301,000,000 +/- counting every man, woman and child. So 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up.. So divide 200 million adults 18+  into $85 billion that equals $425,000.00. My plan is to give $425,000 to every person 18+ as a We Deserve It Dividend. Of course, it would NOT be tax free. So let's assume a tax rate of 30%. Every individual 18+ has to pay $127,500.00 in taxes. That sends $25,500,000,000 right back to Uncle Sam. But it means that every adult 18+ has $297,500.00 in their pocket. A husband and wife has $595,000.00. What would you do with $297,500.00 to $595,000.00 in your family? Pay off your mortgage - housing crisis solved. Repay college loans - what a great boost to new grads Put away money for college - it'll be there Save in a bank - create money to loan to entrepreneurs. ...

The Star Wars saga is my favorite set of movies of all time. I'm not the only one that likes Star Wars obsessively. Here are some of the best Star Wars posts I have found online.

Who isn't a Star Wars fan? Some of the creative people on the internet have put together some great Star Wars rap videos using clips from the movies. The one with Yoda break dancing is my favorite.

Really, I just spent 2 hours stumbling through Flickr pictures and these are all the good ones I could come up with enough to make favorites.

1. You can Hypnotize Chickens by S0Cal A chicken can be hypnotized, or put into a trance by holding its head down against the ground, and continuously drawing a line along the ground with a stick or a finger, starting at its beak and extending straight outward in front of the chicken. If the chicken is hypnotized in this manner, it will remain immobile for somewhere between 15 seconds to 30 minutes, continuing to stare at the line. 2. You can have an erection once dead A death erection (sometimes referred to as “angel lust”) is a post-mortem erection which occurs when a male individual dies vertically or face-down – the cadaver remaining in this position. During life, the pumping of blood by the heart ensures a relatively even distribution around the blood vessels of the human body. Once this mechanism has ended, only the force of gravity acts upon the blood. As with any mass, the blood settles at the lowest point of the body and causes edema or swelling to occur; the discoloration caused by this is called lividity. Sorry, no photo for this one! 3. Your hand can have a life of it’s own Alien hand syndrome (or Dr. Strangelove syndrome) is an unusual neurological ...

Carell was the third choice for Evan Almighty: Jim Carrey passed on the sequel, and the writers considered bumping Jennifer Aniston up to the lead role. During production, Carell thought that all his scenes were cut from Bruce Almighty. He watched the premiere with his family, and was surprised to see himself in the movie. As a kid, Carell tried to make his family laugh by dressing up as an alien and then sitting at the dinner table. In high school, Carell briefly grew a mustache, was editor-in-chief of the school paper, and acted in musicals. Carell is a failed mail carrier. He said he quit because he was "very, very bad at it." ("That's what she said!") He once wanted to be a lawyer. But when an entrance application asked him why, he couldn't answer the question, so he chucked the idea. Carell made his film debut in 1991 with Curly Sue, a forgettable John Hughes family comedy starring Jim Belushi. In The Office episode "Gay Witch Hunt," the script called for Carell to peck Oscar on the cheek. Carell improvised and kissed him on the lips. In the early 90s, he toured the country as part of Chicago's Second City comedy troupe. One of his buddies ...

Deep Thoughts (by Jack Handey) If you ever drop your keys into a river of molten lava, let'em go, because, man, they're gone. ========== If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason. ========== To me, it's a good idea to always carry two sacks of something when you walk around. That way, if anybody says, "Hey, can you give me a hand?" You can say, "Sorry, got these sacks." ========== One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. "Oh no," I said, "Disneyland burned down." He cried and cried, but I think that deep down he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but decided to go home instead. ========== The face of a child can say it all, especially the mouth part of the face. ========== If you lived in the Dark Ages and you were a catapult operator, I bet the most common question people would ask is, "Can't you make it shoot farther?" "No, I'm sorry. That's as far as it shoots." ========== by chezrump ...

1. Tom Selleck was George Lucas's original choice for the role but had to turn it down due to his commitment to the US TV series Magnum PI. 2. Indiana Jones was actually Indiana Smith until the first day of shooting. 3. The famous scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark where Indy shoots the man dramatically wielding a scimitar was improvised by Harrison Ford. It is rumoured he was suffering from piles and didn't want to do the extended fight scene that was planned. Photo: Hefnatron 4. Sean Connery, who played Indy's father in The Last Crusade, is only 12 years older than Harrison Ford. 5. Renowned British wrestler and Auf Wiedersehen Pet star Pat Roach was killed twice in Raiders of the Lost Ark (as a Sherpa in the bar fight and as the Nazi pugilist who meets the wrong end of a propeller) and is pushed into a rock crusher in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. 6. Harrison Ford got his distinctive chin scar in a car crash in his 20s. 7. R2-D2 and C3PO, the robots from Star Wars, can be seen in the hieroglyphics in the Well of Souls in Raiders of the Lost Ark. 8. The "chilled monkey-brains" in Temple ...
