I think it has something to do with Ziggy Stardust and Mars

Spiders are automated agents from the search engines, that look for new pages to add to the search engine indexes. The original code for the software didn't distinguish between the search engines and regular website visitors, so I found this stuff and added it so we can see if there really are 150 guests, or if it's more like 120 search engine bots and 30 guests.
