Anna Nicole chases the Love Crazy Astronaut off the front page!

This is from today's Chicago Tribune: "News of Smith's death Thursday lit up the Internet and sent mouses clicking far and wide. Between 3 and 4 p.m., chicagotribune.com set a record for most traffic on the Web site since its creation in 1996. The next hour set a new record."

Huh? What? Since 1996 we have had two incredibly close Presidential elections, 911, the war in Afghanistan, the invasion of Iraq … and Anna Nicole Smith's death caused more hits?

I had no idea people were so intrigued by her. Even fond of her. This baffles me. I always thought she was kind of like the female version of what Michael Jackson has become. She looked human, but her life doesn't resemble anything like life on my Planet Earth.
