interesting entry points

I succumbed to curiousity last week, and installed a package (phphits) that tracks referrers to my blog. (I wanted something that didn't require parsing of our enormous departmental server log files, and didn't want to set a cookie on visitors' machines.)

Today, I found some interesting search engine queries that led people here. There were four separate searches (from different domains) on "scary things," along with one for "how do I start a blog", one for "sweet potato and turnip gratin," one for "food glorious food," and one for "pecan pie picture." I'm puzzled by the first, flattered by the second, and wondering if the last three were looking for me, or found me by coincidence. I'd like to think that they all found what they were looking for once they arrived.
