Looking at a list of web searches that bring people to this blog, it seems that for the most part, people intentionally search this site out. There's not a lot of stumbling across it while looking for something else. Almost every search phrase is some variation on the blog's title or my name.

Although, recently, someone in Washington D.C. ended up here by searching for the phrase, "what year did comedy started." (Could it have been... the president?) Whoever it was didn't stay long, but it raises a good question. What year DID comedy started?

A quick and lazy web search of my own didn't bring up anything conclusive, but Aristotle speculated that comedy originated from Ancient Greek "phallic processions." So it may have all started around 500 BC with insults and dick jokes.
