Post a CommentThat cat story is funny, thanks for the laugh. P.S. I don't eat cats and don't condone eating them, particularly if you put the spices on the fur and not the meat.
Great job on this.
Nice work on this:)
You never know what may be the popular search for the day. Great job
At least the cat had a happy ending. People search for funny things.
interesting, I wasn't one of the people searching for these things.
I scan most popular articles at Google and online papers. I usually find one interesting enough for me to read.
I guess it all depends on which news stations are reporting what. That story about the cat, though, was really disturbing.
I think our society's misplaced priorities are reflected in Google Trends, where celebrities take interest over things that REALLY affect our country. But that's just me!
This was an interesting snap shot of a day's news. Fascinating work!
