Not only have the monsters given us reasonably fast, semi-reliable internet access so we can update this site, they’ve also given us access to see how many people are visiting, what pages they’re coming from, where in the world they live, etc, etc.

One aspect of these statistics I find fascinating is the “Search phrase” section.  This shows all the phrases people typed into Google that led them here to TrappedByMonsters.com

Usually it’s fairly obvious stuff.  “Trapped By Monsters” being an obvious example.  “Ali Sparks’ Tattoo” perhaps less so obvious, but still understandable.

Today, however, I came across a search phrase that made me stop.  I read it, then I read it again, convinced I had made some sort of mistake.  But no, I had read it correctly.  Someone, somewhere, found us by searching for the phrase:

‘a strange attraction to cows’

I’m assuming they landed on my Curse of the Magna-Cow short story segment, but what on Earth were they actually searching for in the first place?!  The mind boggles.

And then melts into a bewildered, frightened puddle on the floor.
