Yahoo's "Trending Now"

I never really see what the Yahoo! Trending Now lists have to do with anything that is actually currently happening. Take a look at the list right now for example:


Pee-wee at number 3? That means out of all the people on the world using Yahoo!, a vast vast majority are searching about Pee-wee Herman. Just blows my mind.

I guess I understand the actresses, since they had movies open lately. But still, is running home from the movies and Yahoo! searching the actresses the new thing to do? People, it's called iMDB. Look it up.

Honey Bees at number 9 is my favorite though. I wish that I had awoken on this Sunday morning, opened up Yahoo! and typed in Honey Bees. I wonder what I would get if I did?

Hold on a second I'll try. (I feel like Mark Zuckerberg live blogging at the beginning of the movie "The Social Network" right now. Only I'm not mad at my girlfriend and I'm not drunk. I'm also not a genius who is about to embark on a journey to start a world-changing social network and make billions. Wah.)

Anyways, back to Honey Bees. Just searched them. Apparently they're being killed off by a virus & fungus combination. This just got real.

I'm kinda sad about this now. This is what happens when you delve too far into the Yahoo! Trending Now box. Next time I'll just glance at it's wacky results and let it be.
