I did assign an article of yours to 20 hs students over the weekend but that's not 10,000 hits.

So it could be that. OTOH if it's human visitors, I don't have an explanation. (Early on I installed Google Analytics on my blog, which lets one know e.g. the location of visitors to the site. So if the site gets a large number of hits all from one location, it's probably bots. I'm not suggesting you bother w/ Analytics, though.)LFCnoreply@blogger.com
