Lycos just released its list of the top 50 Internet search terms for 2006, and the word 'Poker' topped the list. Poker beat out stalwart search engine celebrities like Pamela Anderson and Paris Hilton to nab the top spot. The big mover for the year was the term 'My Space', the white hot social networking site saw a 568% rise in searches on its name to finish in the # 2 spot. The top ten most searched terms were 1) Poker 2) MySpace 3) RuneScape 4) Pamela Anderson 5) Paris Hilton 6) Pokemon 7) WWE 8) Golf 9) Spyware and 10) Britney Spears.

The caveat to this is that different search engines filter there "top request" lists in different ways and none of the other search engines report poker in the top ten.

To be fair, Paris Hilton, Pam Anderson, and Britney Spears are 67% more used-up since last year.

I didn't know they could be any more used up than they already were.

I thought the same thing. It reminded me of that engine called Ask Jeeves that had that butler dude. Funny stuff. They canned the butler and renamed it ask.com.

hahaha. i had a good laugh about jeeves the other day. my friend came over and he locked his keys in his car. the conversation went like this.

him: how the hell am i supposed to get my keys out of my car?

me: i dunno.

him: i'm gonna ask jeeves

i proceded to laugh for quite a while. i still laugh about it. i wonder how many people would have got the joke because my roommate who was there had no idea what was so funny.
