Lots of website traffic apparently.

This is pretty funny. In the wake of the news regarding Google’s purchase of YouTube earlier this month, the pipe manufacturing website Utube.com saw a HUGE increase in traffic. The graph below shows the site’s page view statistics from Alexa.com. Note the peak around mid-October…

I can just hear all those not-so-internet-savvy people going “I don’t see what the big deal is all about…”

And then I’m sure there were a few people thinking “What would Google need that much pipe for?”, which begs the question, “What *could* Google need that much pipe for?”

Server cooling? An underwater circus? Some nefarious plan to drain the oceans and control the worlds water supply?
