November Referrer Madness

I’ve been doing this monthly list of The Top 20 Sites From Which Nice People Came To Look At The Monkey In The Window™ for almost a year. But who the heck are these people? Why do they link to me? Are we all of one hive mind? Do we all worship the same geek gods? Is there some secret handshake that’s only known to the Bloguminati involved here?

Actually, International Law has banned those listed here from ever getting together in one place. That much dork matter in one spot could kill us all.

To find out who’s who, I thought I’d get you to play a little game (and rip off pixeldiva). Rather than just spewing out links, I’ll give you three facts from each site’s “About Me” section… only one of them will be a lie. It’s up to you to spot the falsehood.
