Blogocentric Formulations

Inquiring Minds on the Interwebs

You know how the Google search engine will auto-complete what you type into its search box? For example, if you start typing, "Where can I..." it will provide a list of the most commonly searched options below which you can navigate down to and hit Enter to auto-complete. It might have a list like, "Where can I... find a good doctor / get a good deal on a used car / etc."

Have you ever actually started the first few words of a common search just to see what Google's most frequent searches are? If you haven't had the pleasure, here are a few:

What do I...
         want to eat
         do with my life

How many times...
         have I been Googled
         can the doctor regenerate

Where is...
         my refund
         Chuck Norris
         the love
         my mind

Are there...
         bears in Big Bear
         any gay NFL players
         any cities in Antarctica

Why can't...
         I own a Canadian
         I hold all these limes

Why does my...
         mom turn me on

When is it okay to...
         cross a double yellow line

When are there...
         coupons in the Sunday paper

Is it okay to...
         have a centipede in my [lady parts]
         eat ants
         give my dog Benadryl
         kill
         microwave this

Really people?

Maybe Stephen King was right when he said, "I think that we're all mentally ill. Those of us outside the asylums only hide it a little better - and maybe not all that much better after all."
