I love useless trivia. I'm that kid who knew the average speed at which Heinz ketchup moves down a 45% incline at room temperature. No surprise, then, that I can be endlessly entertained by the new Google Trends feature. This nifty new engine allows a user to find out which city or area is Googling a particular term the most.

For instance, the people of Providence are searching for "donut" the most, but they're not even in the top ten for "doughnut." The good people of Minneapolis are very concerned about "gas prices," but they are also among the top searchers for both "art" and "science." Meriden, CT, prefers to search for "oral sex." Most searches for "blog" come out of Lima, Peru.

You can also compare the search frequency for multiple terms by separating them with a comma, which gets fun when you try trend-searching things like "Red sox, Yankees." Or "god, dog." Folks in Madison, Wisconsin, prefer chocolate ice cream to vanilla by an amazing margin, but in Portland the two flavors are neck-and-neck. "Democrats" are out-googling "Republicans," which makes sense when you confirm that "good" is indeed winning over "evil."

So far, my favorite finding is that Salt Lake City is ranked number one for "orgasm."
