eclecticism

Just a cute little bit of web silliness: using the Slut-o-Meter to compute your promiscuity according to Google.

> Slut-o-meter evaluates the promiscuity of the subject you enter by comparing the number of Google search results with and without “safe-search” enabled. A complete slut would return unsafe results and no safe results. Alternatively, a clean name should produce the same number of safe and unsafe results. The “promiscuity” percentage we give you is calculated as follows: > >

So according to the Slut-o-meter, I’m 6.29% slut.

* From the Slut-o-Meter site: “If you’re wondering why some subjects have a negative promiscuity, well, you’re not alone. In general, this happens when the number of safe results is greater than the number of unsafe results (or if there are no unsafe results whatsoever). We’re not quite sure why this is the case, but we believe that Google is not telling us the truth.”
