Farked twice in a day, plus the bachelorette

Yesterday we had monster traffic with both the butt crack story and the firewood in short supply stories picked up by Fark.

Readers submitted the following funny headlines to Fark:
"Firewood in short supply. It doesn't grow on trees, you know" and "If the cops write on your ticket that they saw six inches of plumber's crack in the back and pubes in the front, you might be wearing your pants too low"

Gina Carbone's three bachlorette stories brought in more than 10,000 page views to our site via Google. Search for Max Rome brought in 4,700 page views.

Photos of the week June 23-29 also did unusually well with 12,000-plus page views

Total traffic for July 1 47,179 uniques and 195,406 page views. Now that's how to start a month!
