What happened: Giant Clam's pageviews increased more than tenfold, from 314 on March 4 to 3770 on March 5. It's hard to tell why this happened, but my best guess is it's from a recently published article in Nature. The article, published on March 4th, is entitled "Middle Holocene daily light cycle reconstructed from the strontium/calcium ratios of a fossil giant clam shell." Scientists at the University of Tokyo and Hokkaido University examined an old giant clam shell to learn about ancient light patterns.

What happened: It's been a good month so far for Iran. When Israel's Prime Minister spoke to the U.S. Congress, the subject was Iran. Last week, Secretary of State John Kerry continued negotiations with Iran regarding their nuclear program. This prompted a group of Republican Senators to send a letter to Iran independently, challenging what Kerry is attempting to negotiate. The supreme leader of Iran criticized the letter, citing it as evidence of American decline. All this has led to steady pageviews for Iran and more potential points for Hot Chicks and Jesus.
