Web Stats: RAF Crash and Burn, LOL Flourish

Dizzy has an interesting Military Webbing story which shows that while the MOD, Navy and Army are in serious eight figure totals for hits the RAF is on just 8,000. LOL speculate that they are recording their hits by painting rival URLs on the side of their hangar and simply cannot keep up.

This absolute charmer painting up his kills is George Frederick "Buzzy" Beurling who reported this kill:

"One of my can shells caught him in the face and blew his head right off. The body slumped and the slipstream caught the neck, the stub of the neck, and the blood streamed down the side of the cockpit. It was a great sight anyway. The red blood down the white fuselage. I must say it gives you a feeling of satisfaction when you actually blow their brains out."

Plus ca change. Starting in the RAF, he moved to the RCAF and tried to join both the Chinese and US Air Force to get more killing done before rejoining the RAF. As well as "Buzzy" he was known as "Screwball".

Laughing Out Loud Stats

Meanwhile LOL crashed through both the 2,000 and 2,500 unique visitors barriers in one week and joined the Technorati top-100,000 as well. There are 71 million blogs in the world, allegedly.
