QuoteIn short, the Alexa ranking system is naturally flawed. The data should never be treated as accurate, as it's easily manipulated, and not supported for most browsers in the world. It's an estimate, and nothing more.

NO FUCKING WAY.

Turn size tags back on. :P

MyndFyre edit: size tags work.  Sizes 1-7 are standard HTML sizes, or if you specify xxpt, then you can go through 99pt.  :P

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

I realize it's stupidly obvious, but I see people (even people here!) frequently referring to Alexa's useless numbers.

In other news, a recent study showed 67% of statistics are made up on the spot.

Statistics can be used to prove anything.  80% of all people know that.

99% precent of people know that I am t3h s3xah.
The once grove of splendor,
Aforetime crowned by lilac and lily,
Lay now forevermore slender;
And all winds that liven
Silhouette a lone existence;
A leafless oak grasping at eternity.

In other news..the sky is blue.
One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.

God didn't create a damn thing.  He was merely the first angel, and then he conned the rest of the angels.
