Why "Yahoo" Is The #1 Search Term On Google

An anonymous reader writes "Google Trends indicates that over the course of the past year the search term "Yahoo" became more popular than "sex", making it the #1 query on Google. Yahoo apparently faces a similar dilemma with roles reversed: When you search for "Google" on Yahoo, Yahoo thoughtfully displays a second search box as if to tell you, "Hey cutie, you have a search engine right in front of you!" A puzzling phenomenon? An strange aberration?"

    in fact you are not: in a recent poll (gah, I forgot the link, but you can believe me) over 47% of all males between 14 and 34 answered exactly like you when asked about their secret fantasy. From the same poll: apparently only 34% of the same age group dream about having sex with their neighbors dog. Funny, eh? And: they say over 70% of all survey results are made up on the fly. But I tend to call that BS.
