I've been coming to this Web site about once a week in between papers.

It's funny: I clicked on all of the recent popular content without looking at what the recent popular content was. I don't know how that happened, but there must be a reason why those are the things on which I and others clicked.

Why did I -- and everyone else -- click on things about a suicidal Marine, skating on the lake, our favorite Twins, police in the schools, and encouraging the military?

The stories are nothing alike. They don't necessarily target people like me, 27-year-olds who don't live in Prior Lake. What would draw us to the same stories, polls and forums?

Strange ...

What do you like in the recent popular content?
