F is for Facebook
G is for Gmail

K is for Kelly Blue Book
L is for Limewire
M is for Myspace
N is for Next**

*Does this make me old?
**Another reference I'm not familiar with? Or a sign of people who don't know how to navigate through the results pages?
***Okay, now it's just messing with me.

Over what span of time is this data taken? Because according to google trends, M is for "miley cyrus underwear."

You know, the fact that I was doing this at work, where we have the "extra-super-safe-don't-even-think-about-looking-at-porn" settings on the computers may have biased my results. And I'm okay with that, because that is really kind of disturbing. (Please tell me that Miley Cyrus has her own underwear line, right?)
