disappeared in favor of searches about recent event -- although
people seem to put Nostradamus in the later category."

Back in the day, when I was naturalized as a US
citizen, people had an objective look towards life.
But after years of CNN, reality TV and Sports entertainment shows;
i guess they are starting to develop a sixth sense for bullshit.
Voodoo will determine the outcome of the next election results,
and maybe, maybe the IRS will take coconut for tax-payment.

Perhaps it records 'and' searches too? As in, "cnn impartial wonder source" and "cnn utterly biased coverage" both contribute to the tally for CNN?

In fact, on Sept 11 a co-worker took a screenshot of an MSN Search of "www.cnn.com" which returned no hits.
And immediately underneath is asked if you wanted to visit similar sites, such as http://www.cnn.com [cnn.com].

Consider a Harry Potter movie that starred Britney Spears and Nostradamus (hmm, he's dead, we'll have to go with the next choice, Osama Bin Laden as the male lead), with the two remaining Beatles composing the music (which will be simultaneously released on Morpheus), utilizing Windows XP as the OS for the animation effects with the CounterStrike rendering engine. Nokia and Amazon will be major sponsors, with their logos splashed on all attire and walls. CNN will be the primary media outlet for press releases regarding this movie, with tennis star Anna Kournikova doing the reporting.
If any producers are interested in doing this, give me a call. It'll be just fab, baby!

So Windows XP is more popular than osama bin laden but not nearly as popular as anthrax.
Wait 'til the Microsoft Marketing Department gets a hold of this.;-)

At least if Osama dies before the movie is made, he's given us plenty of footage to go on! And we still have five more live people left on the Top 10 list, so not to worry!

Anthrax or Osama bin Laden? I think it's a safe bet they already have Windows XP.
Sorry, couldn't resist.
