I am quite surprised that amid The Beatles, Bahamas, divorce, taxes, driving, happiness, recipes, Europe, and Harvard, more people have visited my hub on Designing Parking Lots! Who would've thought that such a seemingly mundane and everyday item would be so popular?
The one regarding about wives not being sexually active. That really surprised me. I guess I didn't realize the differences in ideas about sex between men and women.
I have a couple that has surprised me by not doing as well as I thought they would too!
I'm pleasantly surprised that my hub on the Desert Rats is doing so well, hovering around the 80+ mark consistently
My hubs concerning nursing homes were a surprise to me. One is rated very high.
I did one about monsanto that has five times the total traffic of the next closest one.
For me, it would be the one on a rhetorical analysis of President Reagan's speech at the Brandenburg Gate.
The one about occasions to wear ballet slippers if you are not a dancer. I wrote it purely because it was a topic I liked and enjoyed writing on. I didn't think that anyone else would be interested in reading about this topic but I'm happily surprised that they are!
I don't know if it would be considered a blockbuster, but my hub on various body piercings is doing considerably better than I ever thought it would.

For me, there have been several things that have surprised me:1. I didn't expect HP to be so much work. Honestly, I came in expecting to churn out a few, quick hubs and make some money. But I quickly learned that in order to really work the system, you have to write detailed hubs and then go about...
