Going Lady Gaga Over Swine Flu Fills Us With Glee for In-N-Out Burgers

posted on December 1, 2009


Google, you’re late!

I mean, c’mon, you let both Bing and Yahoo release their top search query lists before you. Is this a sign of things to come, Google?

And….AND…you’re not even telling us what the most popular searches are. You’re only revealing the fastest rising queries?

[Yawn]

OK, so Michael Jackson tops Google’s list–no surprises there. So what were the surprises?

1. Microsoft should have named its new version of Windows "Lady Gaga":

  4. twitter
  5. sanalika
  6. new moon
  7. lady gaga
  8. windows 7
  9. dantri.com.vn
  10. torpedo gratis

2. We’ve lost about as much interest in President Obama as we have the Beijing Olympics:

  10. missing link found

4. Let’s see, where to go today. Will it be Mount Everest or In-n-Out for dinner?

  6. glee
  7. paranormal activity

6. And, Raleigh, North Carolina is inhabited by some pretty boring people:

Raleigh, NC

  1. nc.rr.com login
  2. wcpss span
  3. wcpss blackboard
  4. ncsu library
  5. marbles kids museum
  6. waketech

But, don’t judge us until you see just how boring your city is too! ;-)

Anything jump out at you?

    We are truly a country of deep thinkers. Looks like channeling celebrities who have passed away is gaining steam since paranormal activity is followed by Natasha Richardson and Farah Fawcett.

    Quick Google me up a ghost! What is this Halloween?
