RealRank weekly Average

519

Today's RealRank: 465

Got half my page rank back but my traffic is twice as high as it was when you dropped me to ZERO!

That's only half you gave back, Google. I was a 4. But you stopped allowing my PageRank to be displayed and dropped me to an misleading and inaccurate Page Rank of ZERO <sniffle> <snort>.

Now today you bestow a Page Rank of 2 upon me?! Ick. That's so bourgeoisie.

Please, take it back. There are more accurate blog/websites ranking system than yours.

You know the old "fool me once saying..."?

Here 'ya go! (after jump)

"There is nothing worse than aggressive stupidity"--Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

: : : Does anyone know the origins of "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me?"

: : : FOOL ME ONCE, SHAME ON YOU; FOOL ME TWICE, SHAME ON ME - "Anyone who falls for the same deceit twice must accept responsibility for his own gullibility; thus, one should be more watchful the next time around. Originally a child's saying." From the "Random House Dictionary of Popular Proverbs and Sayings" by Gregory Y. Titelman (Random House, New York, 1996).

: : A child's saying? Clever child. SS

: More like, a parent speaking to a child. It apparently is too complex for at least one adult: President Bush famously tried to say this once in a speech, and got tangled up in the words.

"There's an old saying in Tennessee I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee--that says, fool me once, shame on--shame on you. Fool me-- you can't get fooled again."
President George W. Bush, Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 17, 2002
