World's Most Popular Questions—Today's Interrogative Zeitgeist
contents
Even before we explored outside our caves, mankind has been plagued by unanswerable questions.

Why do I never see baby pigeons?

If you want answers to some of these questions, try my Yes or No service.
The most popular questions are collected daily using Google's autocomplete feature. Autocomplete lists popular search queries that begin with your entry.
What are people looking to sell? What do people want to have, but can't? Autocomplete suggests an answer, in the form of a question!
While most autocompleted phrases are questions, a few are statements (see Limits & Desires, e.g. I need to vent.).
