It just made me wonder what exactly people think Google is? Here's that first suggestion along with the remaining nine suggestions that followed.

  1. is there a god
  2. is there going to be a transformers 3
  3. is there water on the moon
  4. is there life after death
  5. is there mail on veterans day
  6. is there no help for the widow's son
  7. is there life on mars
  8. is there life on other planets
  9. is there a cure for herpes
  10. is there mail today

Of those ten searches, eight of them actually can be answered (in an evidential capacity) but number one and number four makes me wonder. You could argue these two keywords are searched by people looking for discussions to help them in their personal journeys to answer those questions for themselves but I would guess that I'm giving the majority of them too much credit. My guess is that they are actually looking to Google for definitive, fact-based answers. Do people think Google has the answer to everything?
