In continuation of my apparent peanut gallery series on Drudge articles...According to a Hitwise News and Media Category Weekly Report, the #1 search term in the US is "weather". With my degree in communications, I find it interesting how our old world culture of "talking about the weather" has transitioned into the faceless internet realm. Just as Samuel Johnson noted, "It is commonly observed, that when two Englishmen meet, their first talk is of the weather," we are still equally concerned with the ongoings of weather patterns - enough to communicate our interest out into the web abyss.
Also of worthy note on the search term report:
#8: unexplained phenomenon
#9: man slaps child
#14: chupacabra
Good to know where our national concerns and interests lie.
