Where does porn rank in? Some how I think that list is a tad "filtered".
Yes I was surprised that it was so filtered, I mean come on, well endowed amputee small people has to be in the top 10 somewhere. Or is that just me

I think that would be SE states.

This seems to show what people that don't really know how to use the internet or rarely use the internet search for.

As many people have already mentioned to get info on any of those topics I doubt that I would use a search engine and am sure most of us here are in the same boat.

All the topics on the list seem to fit in with what many younger and those without internet at home would tend to search for.

You have just described so many people I know. Yikes.

Is the internet really that complicated as a concept to grasp? I mean, we are talking about doctors, lawyers, university professors who cannot figure how the basics of the internet.

Heck, even teenagers these days can't seem to "get it". It's nearly automatic for people to glaze over soon as some one starts describing anything computer related as if it's completely magical and beyond their understanding.

It's the TUBES people. THE TUBES!

Hummmm... is it possible to dumb something down so much that you actually make the people who use it dumber?... or is it that as you dumb it down, the dumb people come outta the woodwork and bring the average IQ of the whole group down?

I think it would explain alot of the searches on that list...
