I've been goofing around with this looking for odd trends. for example,

Searched for: world domination

Country that searched for it the most: Austrailia

Another?

Searched for: anal porn


What the hell happened in 2005?

Why does weed get so much more popular (sharp spike) halfway through the year?

4/20, maybe?

Edit: Yeah, looking at just one year, it's almost definitely a spike at 4/20.

'Pancakes' has a serious spike every February, come on guys, what are other things in which we expect a well-defined periodic bias?


P.S. Chairs seem to see a fairly regular lull every October!

P.P.S. Colours see a sharp decline regularly mid-December!

"Economy" peaks in April and drops off just before the New Year.  India's government's fiscal year runs April-April; I don't know if that could have anything to do with it.

French toast and waffles are very similar, however waffles had serious spike in mid 2004.  Pancakes is more consistent.

Given that the top searchers are countries with large Christian presences, I'd guess it's for Fat Tuesday aka Mardi Gras aka Pancake Day.

Was 2004 a big year superbowl-wise?

That was the year of Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction. Proving once again that the internet is about the boobies.

EDIT: When I added Janet Jackson to superbowl to test the above, Salt Lake City led in the searches.

Yeah, a bunch of other slightly deviant sexual activities jump (group sex, swingers, free porn)... sex itself has a pretty sizeable jump, actually, but it dwarfs anything else you put on a graph, so comparison doesn't work too well.
Seems unlikely that it can all be attributed to Brokeback Mountain. But if not that, then what?
