So Google has a new feature, Google Trends. Check out what happens when you see who's searching for "Magic the gathering" by region.

EDIT: The same results happen when you search for "impeachment," which makes me think there's some kind of big robo t in the Phillipines pestering google.

The only issue I see there is it doesn't have very accurate results.  You got the trends for Magic+The+Gathering, however, if you search for MTG your results greatly differ.

Moo

Even then these results are innacurate because in order to get proper magic results you have to do MTG+the individual thing you are looking for.

This is a pretty interesting feature.

Look at the spikes for Bush.

Hooray for google!

Somewhere in Februari of 2004, google > sex!

Oh, and sex beats love all over the world, except in the Phillippines. Go Rakso! (and look at those horny Indians, too).

It should be noted that when an Australian googles "bush" he probably doesn't mean the US President.

Look how awesome the Philippines is.  It's first for the following searches:

magic the gathering
rice
final fantasy
computer
anime
impeachment
weapon

In addition, it's #2 for"rpg."  The link Bram posted is pretty neat too.
