Hey y’all,
Here’s a bunch of stuff that’s awesome and you oughta know:

What does Denver prefer more than erotic services?
Sunday, April 8th, 2007
Ah, Craigslist. You are so full of information about people and the way they live. Based on intelligent website traffic estimates, “erotic services” is hands-down the most-clicked Craigslist category in most major U.S. cities. Actually, all of them. Except Denver.
