2010 / Google Game

Yay it's 2010...well, half way through it. I was going to write stuff on here sooner but I was busy doing something else of equal or lesser consequence. But now that's done, I'm back now so shut up and read on.
OK, let's get all the stuff that's happened out of the way (this is for those of you who can't just experience life but instead need to look back on it retrospectively on Top Ten Things lists or take pictures at a live show / gig rather than just watch the fucking thing. You don't need to prove you were there because you WERE there, photographic evidence is not needed. Oh it's for your Facebook page? Fucking hell!)
Anyway, there was an election in which we bucked the normal trend of jumping from one main party to the other one by ousting Labour and allowing a coalition government to form for the firt time in ages...made up mostly of Tories. There were also some celebrity deaths that were mulled over tastelessly, a footballer shagged someone and I wiped my arse about 500 times give or take.
And so 2010 continues, with some specualting it may not be over until after Christmas.

Anyway, I made an interesting discovery today when I went to type in 'average word count of novels' in Google. This was due to my girlfriend fretting over how long the book she is working on should be. I said to just write it and not worry about pages or word count until you've actually finished. It'd be like starting a war with a death quota in mind instead of an objective of actual victory. "Sir, the enemy have surrendered" "Bollocks, we've still got 10,000 kills to rack up" "Nevermind sir, maybe there'll be a bloody insurgency that'll keep us here for years after the war's meant to have ended" (mmm biting satire)
But she tends to worry about things despite my assurances so I thought I'd look it up. As I typed it in Google did it's helpful / irritating predict-a-search thing which I believe is modelled on the most popular searches. Here was what came up as I typed the word 'average':

average penile size
average uk salary
average salary uk
average iq

Hmmmm. We can postulate from these results that, on average, our chief concerns are earnings and penis size with intelligence being less of a priority. Make of it what you will but there's definately a Guardian article in there somewhere. So, a new Google game for ya; type in a word like Top, Best or Favourite and see what comes up. This game is best for those whose workplace restricts the sites you can look at to a few search engines and the BBC News site (with video and audio disabled).
I don't care what those bollocks 'Bing' adverts say, Google still rocks by search engine socks off, rocks off get your rocks off honey, honey monster, monsterous sex offender, EasterEnders, dum dum dum da da dadada.
