Bots and spiders are computer programs sent out by Google, Yahoo, MSN and others to gather information for their respective search engines.

27? I sure don't see 27. 5 or 6, maybe.

They're gone now, but there was about 20 Yahoo spiders along with a half dozen Google and a couple MSN all online about 15 minutes ago.
