What Does Your Browser History Say About You?

Yup, not a clever title here.  Rather than give any updates, let's just take a look at shit I've been looking up recently and see what, if anything, can be gleaned about the inner workings of my mind. I'll pick out 5 random ones:

Firebombing of Dresden. 
Sluts. (Specifically, "what is a slut?")
Fantasy football.
Naked mole rat.
Charles Ramsey

So...yeah. Each of these has a perfectly normal explanation, but you know what? You don't need to know.  I think it would be better for your imagination to concoct a story that somehow connects these events rather than me explaining each one.  Or, we could just say that your browser history either shows nothing, or everything about you.  Take your pick.

And, by the way, what is a slut? What does that term mean to you? (Yes, these are the debates I get drawn into while at law school).  I gave up trying to define it on my own, and "real" dictionaries weren't cutting it, so I went to urbandictionary.com which was extremely helpful.

So helpful, in fact, that there were 56 pages of user-uploaded definitions--including hypothetical conversations where "slut" was used in a sentence.  I recommend wasting an hour of your life reading through them.

But my favorite definition? "A woman who doesn't get paid for sex."

Ha! Kids these days.

Anyway, out.

PS Oh you wanted something extra?  Well go look up Charles Ramsey's "Dead giveaway" remix on youtube.  And then read more about the guy, and look up some of his other interviews.  My kinda guy.

PPS Related to that PS, my neighbor Wildcat has a friend that comes over sometimes name'a Melvin.  He's even funnier than Ramsey, and I get to drink beer with him now and then.  Life can be awesome sometimes.
