Look: I am eager to learn stuff I don't know--which requires actively courting and posting smart disagreement.

But as you will understand, I don't like to post things that mischaracterize and are aimed to mislead.

What the Hell? Tuesday

There have been close to three dozen (I stopped counting them) hits on my blog today, from all over the U.S. and  Europe, with the referring link more or less as follows:

images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.wreckthetapedeck.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/Salvador-Dal%C3%AD-In-Voluptate-Mors-photograph-by-Phillippe-Halsman.jpg&imgrefurl=http://jazzbumpa.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html&usg=__WaWX5N7TvXb-KJ

Actually, they vary a bit, following the final  "=" but the bulk of it is constant.

There is a  http://www.wreckthetapedeck.com/, which you might or might not enjoy.  I've searched the site, and can find neither a reference to my blog, nor anything that would send somebody here.  My posts on 2009/09/01 have nothing to do with Salvador, Vulpoate, Phillipe, etc.  On 2009/01/09 this blog did not yet exist.

Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on?

Update:  I have a hint at a solution. My crossword puzzle blog of 9/08/09 contains this link to a very interesting picture of Salvadore Dali.

OK.  So there's the connection.   But what is the path back to here, and why, all of a sudden, today?
