Let me google it
As anyone who has spent some time with me will attest, I love Google. When a trivia comes up that stumps me or the group I'm with, I'm the first to say "Let me google that". The site is fast to load and fast with the answer. Google has a cool thing on it called "Google Trends". You type a word or two and it shows what city in the world has googled that term the most. So, I ran some terms through it and let's see how it makes sense:
Term City
Baseball and hot dogs--------- St.Louis, Mo - makes sense. Tons of baseball fans and lots of hot dogs
jobs and unemployment-- ----Thomas Ditton, UK - Unemployment in UK is high, real high I guess
bars and churches-- ------------Dallas, TX - search totals were pretty close. Chicken and egg thing happening.
gambling,bankruptcy-- --------New York
pizza, yoga -----------------------San Diego,CA
peace,love----------------------- Edmonton, Canada
peace,war------------------------ Brisbane, Australia
music,hearing aids -------------Irvine,CA
McDonalds,gym ----------------Brisbane, AUS - all that war and peace talk makes em hungry
party, rehab ---------------------Miami, FL
marathon, shins----------------- Minneapolis - I thought San Leandro would be #1 with all my googling
shoes, socks ---------------------New York
silence, lambs------------------- Montreal - mental note: do not bring any plus sized girls to Montreal
dating, divorce -----------------Copenhagen, Denmark
prostitutes, free clinic ---------Dublin, Ireland
Wow- that was fascinating. I learned so much and I am richer for the experience. Most importantly, I killed 30 minutes at work. Back to work and then treadmill tonight. I can do it!
