    It's very interesting. If you type in "Hurricane Katrina" or "Hurricane Rita", the line graph begins after mid 2005 and peaks during that time also. After that time period, the searches drop. If you type in "batman" or "spiderman," the searches peak in summer 2005 or summer 2004 respectively when their movies came out. Also, if you type in "fattest city," there is no peak but it starts high in 2004 and gradually declines, and only people from 3 cities search for that topic. I don't know what you can infer from that, but it's interesting information.

    Oh, if you type in "miserable failure," most of the searches come from France. Are they concern about Bush or about France?

    now that's just funny.


    and which american city comes in 2nd place out of the whole world for "hot girls"? good ol' salt lake city.

    i bet if i put in "mexican girls" it would be first.


    and this is just another reason Google is freakin' badass.

    Something doesn't make sense here. I tried a few ones, from NBA to boobs, Irvine US is always in top 10 while I know Irvine CA is a small city, :rolleyes:

    Like it's been mentioned a couple of times, it's based on per capita not total volume. Maybe Irvine is much more "wired" than the average city, so it pops up a disproportionate amount.
