Last Monday set a new record for traffic here at Miss Cellania, the first time I’ve seen over 4,000 hits. Thanks goes to Alex at Neatorama, who linked The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. People love to see weird Halloween costumes. In this site’s first year, that post was the most popular post the first time around, too! There will be more Halloween costumes here in the next week or so. Completely aside, I am appalled at the number of results when you search YouTube for “exploding cats”.
According to Quantcast, the typical visitor here is a young college-educated Hispanic with no children. How do they know? They break down stats into household income, education, and ethnicity. I have never been asked any of those things when I log onto a computer! I can figure out from Sitemeter that the biggest part of visitors come from Google Image Search. Some bloggers occasionally post about the weird search terms they find in their referrals, but I haven’t set aside enough time to check those out, although they are undoubtably strange. I know anyone who is looking for beauty queens (Miss Nude or whatever) find their way here, if only for a moment. Sorry to cause such disappointment!
Wake Up! (Thanks, Bill!)
Existential prank: The Restroom Mirror. Funny as it is, it’s even funnier if you understand German.

THE NEW CHURCH
(via Phil’s Phun)
Gladys Dunn recently moved into a retirement community in a small town.
One beautiful Sunday morning she walked down the street to a church not far from her apartment. Gladys was in awe of the big beautiful church building as she stepped inside to attend the worship service.
Gladys however, wasn't too impressed with the sermon. She thought itwas kind of boring and, as she looked around the church, she noticed that many of the members were nodding off.
When the preacher finished his sermon he encouraged the congregation to greet those sitting close by. Gladys turned toward the man sitting on her left. He, too, had fallen asleep and was yawning and stretching trying to wake up. He smiled at her, and Gladys returned the smile.
She politely offered her hand and said, "I'm Gladys Dunn."
"You and me both!" the man replied.

A classic interview with Mel Blanc, the man of a thousand voices. Some of those voices were Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Elmer Fudd. He was just as funny in his own voice!

Oh Noes! LOLcats are programming now! LOLcode. (Thanks, Ed!)

A new record has been set for the Cannonball Run, driving from New York to Los Angeles. They averaged over 90 miles per hour for 31 hours!
Letters Abby didn't know how to answer.
(via Bits and Pieces)
Dear Abby: A couple of women moved in across the hall from me. One is a middle-aged gym teacher and the other is a social worker in her mid-twenties. These two women go everywhere together and I've never seen a man go into or leave their apartment. Do you think they could be Lebanese?
Dear Abby: What can I do about all the sex, nudity, fowl language and violence on my VCR?
Dear Abby: I have a man I can't trust. He cheats so much, I'm not even sure the baby I'm carrying is his.
Dear Abby : I am a 23-year-old liberated woman who has been on the pill for two years. It's getting expensive and I think my boy friend should share half the cost, but I don't know him well enough to discuss money with him.
Dear Abby: I've suspected that my husband has been fooling around, and when confronted with the evidence, he denied everything and said it would never happen again.
Dear Abby: Our son writes that he is taking Judo. Why would a boy who was raised in a good Christian home turn against his own?
Dear Abby: My 40-year-old son has been paying a psychiatrist $50 an hour every week for two and a half years. He must be crazy.
Dear Abby: My Favorite. I was married to Bill for three months and I didn't know he drank until one night he came home sober.
Dear Abby: My mother is mean and short-tempered. I think she is going through mental pause.
Dear Abby: You told some woman whose husband had lost all interest in sex to send him to a doctor. Well, my husband has lost all interest in sex and he is a doctor. Now what do I do?
Thought for today: I need not suffer in silence while I can still moan, whimper, and complain.
