The World Population's Average Age is Reducing

How do I know? I'll tell you how.

Users have come to my blog for the past one week only courtesy my Driving Licence post (I'm not even going to provide a link; see, there it is, in the 'Best Ones' table).

In fact, Google says the searches were dominated by 'turn right', 'to turn', and 'turn right traffic sign'. And hence were directed to the picture I had taken off Google Images. And that yielded visitors from (excluding India itself) -- wait for it -- Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines (and some more; almost all southeast Asia countries), Brazil, Colombia (a few South American), Australia, the UK, and USA, plus Mexico.

Now this observation surely means that more people want to see this particular sign. But why? Are they preschoolers wanting to inculcate some civic sense? Now that is good news.

Some may argue these visitors only want the picture, maybe for some project. But then that means all of them are writing about roads and traffic signs and driving.

It also means that Google has acknowledged my blog as a force to be reckoned with, and has promptly included it in popular searches.

But the question remains: My dears, why did all of you want to turn right this week? And why did you ask Google for the answer?
