This is Site News… it’s where news about the site goes.

Man… the past few weeks have been a rollercoaster.  Between work, power failures, water loss, and personal events, I’ve been too busy to be funny/riddley.  That will change soon.

Tomorrow I’ll be flying, and I’ve found cross-country flights to be awesome blog material.  So, expect posts soon in that regard.

I’ve also got a two hour layover in Chicago.  That’s a perfect time to write another riddle to post this Friday.

So… my apologies to loyal readers and I promise regular posts will return by Friday, if not sooner.

So the traffic to the site has gone up 12x since I posted the riddle contest on Friday.  You guys seem to like that sorta thing, or perhaps you’re frustratingly addicted… either way, more traffic is a good thing for me.  I’m planning to post a riddle/puzzle/game each Friday to keep things moving.  There probably won’t be a prize each week… because I don’t have a prize budget, but hopefully you’ll enjoy it anyway.

I’ll be posting a “hint” to last week’s riddle shortly.

OK, so last week I said I was going to give out a prize to a reader.  That seemed like a good idea at the time, but I have no idea who the vast majority of people are who read this ( I pretend).  So I decided instead of just picking someone who I know or reads the site 12 times a day, I’d have a contest.  Here’s the contest… First person to correctly solve the riddle below and post the answer as a comment wins.  You can post comments, guesses, etc in the comment area as well.  If you want, you can even team up.  Multiple prizes are not out of the question since I’m making up the rules.  OK, here’s the riddle… also cheating will get you no where… ok… here it is:

In the Summer, I am of the Darkest Bloom,
In the Autumn, I smell of sweet Perfume.
In the Spring, I gather around the Room. 
In the Winter, I spell impending Doom.

Man’s Reach can’t catch me as Time passes By.
It takes more Than the wind to make me Fly.

Can you solve this riddle?

I get odd spam.  I really do.  People are always trying to post stuff on my site so people will buy all sorts of things from them.  Flowers, drugs, mortgages, more drugs.  I don’t get it.  Do people really think buying a mortgage from the same place that sells vicodin is a good idea?  I don’t.

Today I got spam from beyond the grave.  It was bizarre.  It started out, “Hello Vampires”.

Um… what?

Seriously.  It was spam for vampires.

But that got me thinking… maybe that’s why spam is so hard to stop.  It’s coming from the undead.  Maybe the same goes for telemarketing.  We don’t need Do Not Call lists, we need garlic, crosses, and holy water.

We take spammers to court and fine them when in fact we should be driving stakes through their hearts.

Vampires are spammers, Zombies are telemarketers, and Mummies are Egyptian.  It all makes sense now.  Someone should call the FTC (because I can’t be bothered) and tell them to hire Van Helsing to regulate these guys before they overthrow the world.  Maybe even hire that Brendan Frasier guy too.  I’m pretty sure he’s not busy.
