Google Labs

I don't entirely get how the trends search works because of the results I got (I did read their "about google labs" blurb).

The first search I did was to compare "library, britney spears, impeach". "library" came out higher than b. spears, which doesn't make sense at all. The spears search did spike a few times in late 2006 and again in early 2007 - when was that hair episode?? A couple months ago, right? So maybe that correlates.

The other search I did was "iraq, wmd, fish" and fish came out a lot higher than the other two terms. The only part that makes sense was the iraq spike in late 2003 (invasion) and the listing for Baghdad, where "iraq" was monstrously high in comparison to searches on "fish".

I also looked at Google Mars, which was awesome. Say you don't remember whether to turn right at the big crater, or left. Just scroll around and see for yourself. I thought it was really great how they linked named geographical areas to the map. Looking for the Tholus Summit? There it is. And you can see where the two rovers are still roving. But I typed in "Bob's Latte Emporium" and nothing came up, which is an obvious glitch.
