Courtesy of Academia.edu, I learned that

Someone from Nigeria found “I Was a Teenage Alcoholic;…” on Google with the keyword: “I still love my husband and want to be with him, but he is trying to file a divorce letter for us to be apart but I can’t live without him. Maybe you could help me on my love issues.

 

If that isn’t scary enough, bear in mind that if you google that exact phrase, you won’t come across my Academia.edu page until page twenty-something of the resulting “matches.”

Awhile back, someone from Uganda found “Cemetery Row” on Google with the keyword: “ryan rivers messages that left girls literally dripping wet

I don’t even know how to begin to parse that one.
