One for the Google-bot... After this post got spidered by Google, we started getting a noticeable amount of traffic from people searching for the word sixy (or sixy girl or sixy photo, etc) as apparently many non-English-speaking visitors confuse this almost-homonymous word with sexy, and apparently have surfed here looking for porn.
