I'm actually considering starting a sideblog for footnotes so you'd just click on the number and it would take you to the note--very 3D information.<BR/><BR/>It may just be a phase I'm going through. Maybe because of D.F. Wallace's death last year, and he always had awesome footnotes. But there's also the whole, I don't know, <I>layering</I> of information. Things that don't fit in a parenthetical but also sort of seem like they ought to be added.<BR/><BR/>It may also be something I grow out of.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18275812152895151542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1377385119326285192.post-64446479092550682672009-01-22T11:16:00.000-08:002009-01-22T11:16:00.000-08:00I'm waiting for him to start footnoting his footno...I'm waiting for him to start footnoting his footnotes. ;)<BR/><BR/>Haven't checked my counter lately, so, nothing weird to report.

Huh? You have an answer for that, Mr. Science Guy? Where do deerhounds come from?<BR/><BR/>Ahem.<BR/><BR/>More seriously, "shirken island cows" bothered me. What the hell were people looking for? I tried Googling "shirken island cows," only to discover <I>this post</I> was already the top result; nothing else looked promising. Then I tried "shirken island"--and there was the clue and ultimately the solution, midway down the page:<BR/><BR/>"Shirken Island" is either a misspelling of or variant spelling for <A HREF="http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=cork+county&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wl" REL="nofollow">Sherkin Island, an island in County Cork, Ireland</A>. (I note that it may be an old variant because at least one of the things I stumbled into was an official-looking transcript of a parliamentary debate in which that spelling was used; or it may have been an error in the transcript.)<BR/><BR/>And, yes, Sherkin Island appears to be notable for its cows. <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherkin_Island#Transport" REL="nofollow">Wikipedia tells us there are too many cows to permit a helicopter field on the island</A>. More importantly, it appears that <A HREF="http://www.sherkinphoto.com/photo_3167438.html" REL="nofollow">at least one professional photographer sells prints of a rather nice picture he took of some cows sunning themselves on a beach at Sherkin Island</A>, which I suspect is what "shirkin island cows" searchers are seeking. Additionally, it turns out <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sherkin_Island,_The_Cow_Strand.JPG" REL="nofollow">there's also a location on the island called "The Cow Strand."</A><BR/><BR/>Looks like a nice enough place, anyway, so I can see why people are interested in it.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I think that's one mystery solved on a light morning.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18275812152895151542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1377385119326285192.post-47552118487728418282009-01-22T06:40:00.000-08:002009-01-22T06:40:00.000-08:00You're welcome.You're welcome.Random Michelle Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13817444379694818074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1377385119326285192.post-9871281671502406002009-01-22T06:18:00.000-08:002009-01-22T06:18:00.000-08:00Damn, Vince beat me to it.Damn, Vince beat me to it.mattwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07934926340973044413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1377385119326285192.post-50794701603094336342009-01-22T06:00:00.000-08:002009-01-22T06:00:00.000-08:00hooooooPerhaps that was actually mkeant to be "Thu...<EM>hoooooo</EM><BR/><BR/>Perhaps that was actually mkeant to be "Thundercats hoooooo!"vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16955307244053931069noreply@blogger.com
