What the world wants to know
You can try this at home!
Go to Google’s front page, type in the word “is” followed by a space. Give it a second, and it will guess what you’re going to ask it. The result is quite telling… though I’m not sure whether it says “look how many Islamophobes use the Internet” or “Barack H. Obama really hasn’t closed the deal” or “famously liberal Google is secretly worried their capital-gains taxes are going to go way up, and so they’ve rigged the game” or what.
Aside from the four obvious ones, I was a little befuddled… I had to ask a co-worker who Danity Kane is (answer: band Sean “Puff Daddy/P. Diddy/Diddylicious” Combs put together on an MTV reality show), and is Google really where you want to get your health information? (Tip of the hat to Wes at insulinfunk.net for pointing me to this.)

No joke: Two guys (college freshmen, I’m guessing) walked into the newsroom yesterday, wondering earnestly whether we could look into whether Obama was really a natural-born citizen. I was too busy to point them to Obama’s own website, which contains a certified copy of his birth certificate.
