Pus, darky and fleapit surprised me, I admit.
I've collected the Google page count for over 27,000 words in an English dictionary.
Following are the top gainers in the last 3 years. For example, 10,900 pages in 2003 included the word “furl” – meaning “to be or become rolled up” – whereas the same word returns 67,100,000 pages in 2006 (likely because of the web app appearing with the same name). Many other words in the list of top gainers are of foreign language, hinting perhaps at a faster growth of the foreign web (or a deeper crawl by Google).

This from Philipp Lenssen who allows a butt-ugly photo of me to appear on Forty Faces. Mr. Nag refuses to believe it's me; he prefers to remember a kinder, gentler, more beautiful Nag. But why, I ask, would I have this photo represent me to the world if it were not me? Wouldn't it make more sense to choose Angelina Jolie?
