Interesting... very interesting...

When I search for "wage tax", philadelphia comes up at #1 by a long shot.

When I search for "Navy", Norfolk is the winner, with Jacksonville, San Diego, Honolulu, etc. coming up right behind.

When I search "oil", calgary comes up #1, with Houston #2, then Boston, Dallas, DC, etc following up.

When I search "synthetic oil", calgary is still #1, with houston less far behind, then Orlando (?) as the third!

Now it gets more interesting...

"castrol" is searched most in Mumbai, India, Followed by Budapest, two cities in Poland, etc.

"mobil" is indonesia and slovakia for the main searchers.

"BP" is all poland searches!

"chevrontexaco" is far and away houston

More people search for "mobil 1" in three different cities in Poland than they do in Houston, which is fourth.

"E30" as in the BMW chassis is searched all over Germany... with Poland and Norway in there too.

"w123" as in the MB chassis is searched all over Germany, and then the netherlands

"Z06" is searched mostin Dallas, followed by 'Richardson, USA'... wherever that is...

"toyota" is searched most in Houston and San Diego, followed by Bangkok, Thailand!

"Honda" is searched most in Seattle and Atlanta...

"GM" Is searched for in 'Southfield, USA' the most, and the next six top search locations are in
Canada and Brazil!

"Ford" is searched for more in Tampa than anywhere...

"Bush" is searched for in DC more than anywhere...

"Microsoft" is searched for more in Seattle than anywhere...

"hot dog" is searched for in Chicago and Phila. more than anywhere.

A lot of Singaporeans are searching for the meaning of asdf, whereas qwerty is popular in Budapest. Nobody seems to like zxcvbnm, though.

New Zealand and Singapore are fighting hard for first place over Bird Flu. But both are less interested than they were last October.

News events regarding Saturn the planet eclipse (so to speak) those of the Saturn car brand.

You're right, this is fun.

Ugh... I don't know if I like this anymore. Kind of 1984-ish.

Yes. Cairo Egypt is leading the search for "sex", followed by India, and Turkey...
Though specific fetishes put Europe and N.A. into the top 10. =-)
