4 Million hits!
Congratulations to the blog! Here are tonight’s statistics:
Total number of hits: 4,022,0991
Average per day: 5,143.33
Last seven days: 93,714
Today since midnight GMT: 18,550
The first million hits took 1 year, 1 month & 25 days (From February 5, 2004 to March 30, 2005)
The 2nd million hits took 5 months & 28 days (September 28, 2005)
The 3rd million took 3 months & 12 days (January 10, 2006)
The 4th million took 2 months & 18 days (today).
I always complain about the relative lack of comments on this blog, in relation to the large number of page views. However, there are three old posts here that, for some obscure reasons, keep building up continual debate & comments. They are the posts about Queen Rania of Jordan, the fight for marijuana legalization and the World’s most beautiful woman.
By the way, it is raining very heavily tonight here in Riverside... I went out looking to buy some soup, and got soaking wet…
If you read this, please say “Hello”.

» Grow-a-Brain Surpasses 4 Million Visitors from Radiant Marketing Group
I had the distinct privilege of interviewing Hanan (pronounced 'Hay-nan') Levin, author of the vastly popular Grow-a-Brain blog. It just so happens that Grow-a-Brain has passed the 4 million visitor mark, and the blog is less than 3 years old. In fact,... [Read More]

The problem is that Grow-a-Brain is too entertaining: we're too busy reading to write!
But seriously, 4,000,000 congratulations. There's no one else doing what you're doing. Keep up the splendid work!
I suppose I'll comment again in a few days to congratulate you on your eight-millionth hit.

Congratulations and all that jazz.
Thanks to you, I've found a lot of interesting stuff that I would have otherwise missed.
Congrats, again.

Congratulations. You have so much content on here that it is no wonder 4 million people and their random searches and quest for entertainment have brought them here.

Hello and congrats!
This site is on my "Check Daily" bookmarks list. I usually save it for last because I know that *something* posted here is going to suck away my precious web-surfing time (not that I'm complaining).
Keep up the amazing work. Here's hoping your second 4 mil comes twice as fast!
Posted by: Lisa Marie at Mar 29, 2006 5:49:01 AM
Congratulations, as always outstanding stuff that makes this a daily "must view". Keep up the good work.

I discovered your blog about a week ago and I'm sure I've contributed to at least 500 of those record breaking hits. LOL. Bur really, your blog is absolutely, without a doubt the best blog of it's kind that I've seen and even the best of all blogs(and I've looked at 3 score of them in the past week so I know what I'm talking about). I look for certain things in a blog. I want loads of places to click on and I want someone who has a great sense of humor. Your blog has met both of these items. I've visited all of the archives..well almost all of them since first finding your blog. I found your blog while I was looking for choclate links to post in my yahoo group(sharinglinks2) for a special themed post I was doing. I must admit that I have posted a tremendous amount of the stuff you have found and I thought I was the queen of the surfers but pal, you are the King...Anyway, I plan to write a super nice blurb about your blog for my group members. So thank you for putting together such a nice blog. I've enjoyed it immeasurably.

Flattered to see that my name showed up in your blog, too.
Thanks!
