Why People Are Searching for Pictures of Croissants
A Public Service from Nick's Web Page of Fun
Sarah, who is going to school in Georgia, was looking for croissant pictures because she wanted to give her web page a croissant theme. The croissant theme was to express her frustration with bread products due to her being on the Atkin's Diet  Her page changes frequently, so I think the croissant theme is gone now.
Katrien from Belgium says she's leaving her job and it's customary to give co-workers a treat when you leave. So she brought in some croissants and was going to send a picture along with the email.
Daniel, from Devon in the UK, goes to a "boring grammar school full of insane teachers". He is apparently in a design technology class (whatever that is) and his assignment was to find out as much as he could about sandwiches and bread, and do a presentation on it.  How exciting.

Why were YOU searching for pictures of croissants?
(weirdo)
Caroline, from Newcastle upon Tyne in the UK, is teaching French to children in primary school (hooray for teaching kids languages before they get too old to learn them). She says the scheme of the work requires her to show the children a croissant picture. She goes on to say "Anyway their mothers probably buy croissants from Sainsbury's all the time and the kids know fine well what one looks like, so I'll not be that bothered if I don't find one."
A quick recap of what we've seen so far:

1. This is turning into quite the multinational experience.
2. This phenomenon is apparently driven, at least in part, by British school curriculua.
3. Despite Britain's aspirations to educate its population on the wonders of croissants (giant or otherwise), neither the recipient nor the deliverer of croissant information seems particularly thrilled about the whole process.
Yotal from Germany was looking for a picture of a croissant in order to paint one on a cup for somebody's birthday for someone whose name means "croissant" in French.
Some unnamed person from the US needed one for a French project and said she didn't think it was that crazy.
Diana from the US says she wanted a picture of a croissant for the cover of a mix for her friend. "Because you see, one night a couple of us were chillin and talking and my one friend said something about her heart and I thought she said "croissant". And since then we refer to "heart" as "croissant" and crack up everytime.
Zack from Canada was meeting his friend in a French bakery and wanted to send him an email with a picture and the sign-off, Zachatisserie, aka Croissant Boy.
Liz from the UK reports that she has an intolerance to gluten and can no longer eat croissants - she just wanted to look at one!
Kerry from North Carolina said: I wanted to add some interesting pictures to my website about the trip I took to France and Spain this summer.  The hotel we stayed at only let us have croissants or baguettes for breakfast and if we tried to take cheese or fruit, they would take it off our plates.
Kara from Florida says:
I kept my long-distance boyfriend awake too long by chatting online, and he has to wake up early in the morning.  To make up for the sleep deprivation he will experience in the morning, I decided to do something nice and make him a virtual breakfast.  This would incluse a croissant, a cup of coffee, and various other breakfast items

Yeah, I feel for you Kara. That long-distance stuff is tough. When you have to resort to cooking a pixelated breakfast, it's just not the same.
