Sorry, wrong number
Sometimes I get search engine hits that are simply the result of different words from different entries combining. Somebody searched Yahoo for "norway single mother blonde Bergen" (how's that for a wishlist?) and was actually directed to a page in my blog where all those words appear, but not together, I hasten to add.
 After some thought, I suddenly realised that the search aimed at a particular 22 year old single mother from Bergen, nicknamed Vikki (picture), who has advertised for the love of her life on a web page. This attracted emails from 5,000 men, including eight marriage proposals.
She is shocked at the attention, and proclaims she really wants a local man, as she could never leave Bergen (and the ad is in Norwegian only). Note that those 5,000 emails arrived before the story was picked up by Ananova, which often works as a bridge between news sources in the the rest of the world and English-language papers.
PS: I suspect this is the site in question, but it is a crappy geocities site and has exceeded its allowed bandwidth for the day. You can still get a messed-up (at least I hope it is!) cached version through Google, though.
