WA # 3 for Ninjas

That's right losers.
We on the west Search for Ninjas more than you guys.
See:

Regardless of that. You should check this out. It's so damn cool, that I bet some of you probably already know about it:

Damn Oregon gets number one for "space monkey" searches.
The author searching is really cool. Southerners like "Faulkner" are mainly in the south, but then the german "rilke" is searched most in Alaska. What the hell? They look into one of the most influential modern german imagist poets?
For most of the author searches there is is black whole in the middle north. I guess ranchers in Montana still don't have CPUs.
The distribution for Vonnegut is bland, but the timeline feature shows a huge spike of searches in the year of his death. They love artists when they're dead.
The Coen Brothers in 2004 (that's as early as it goes) when we knew they were the shit before everyone else, were dominated by New York and very few searches even happened. Now the whole country is on the band wagon.

penn wins for beer.
ohio wins for balls (again the time line rocks. balls see a huge spike christmass eve then backs down on new years).
utah wins for boobs.
North Carolina wins for butt(with a big spike in July of 2006. anyone know why?)!
Nebraska wins for "butt sex." why?
Texas beats New York for "bung hole"
And somehow Mass beats all of us for searches for Jim's sister "meg"
There was a big spike in 07 for her. Maybe that's when we put those pictures of her boobs up on the net.
and main wins for scrotum . . .

This page http://www.google.com/insights/search/#q=horny&geo=US&cmpt=q exposes southdakota and Texas as the horniest states, but it looks like Florda's making a break for it, as "Horny Manatee" is listed as a "breakout" rising search. I guess they are the cow of the sea...
