whats the connection?

i was searching for reticulated patterns--for, of course, you guessed it, knitting.

those of you who are latin scholars know that reticulated (a word most often associated with pythons, snakes and other repilians (reticulated python, retuculated salamander, etc) come from the latin rete, net and reticulated mean net like (pattern)

what surprized me, was the crop --hundreds,of sex related sites.. i am aware that many x rated sites use a variety of key words, (so they come up in almost every search, for any topic) but reticulated?
do i live (in spite of thinking of myself as worldly) a sheltered life? is there something about reticulated that is sexy?

A woman in fishnet stockings is indeed a fisher of men.

I just used Google to search for reticulated, reticulated patterns, and reticulated patterns knitting (no quotes) and didn't get any sex sites in the first four pages of hits. Maybe you should stop using nastygirls.com as your search engine or maybe you should just stick to Fair Isle - definitely stay away from faggot lace
