Some Amusing Google Search Terms

Topics: big bang, cern, google, search terms

Apparently Google thinks I'm a physics expert and has been giving me a ridiculous amount traffic related to the Large Hadron Collider experiment at CERN.

This isn't a promotion, I just wanted to post a few of the things that people have typed into google that lead them to one of my blog posts about it (I think some are pretty funny):

'guy creates black hole'
'bad scientest in switerland make black hole' (I really like this one)
'switerland the thing that could make the world end today' (A little unspecific perhaps?)
'about the big donut underground to cause the black hole" (Has Homer Simpson been googling?
'giant hole (end of the world)' (Maybe looking for sci fi porn?)
'scientists recreate the big pie' (pie...?)
'massive hole in switzerland'
'celebraties think big bang in switzerland what time?'

Generally it looks like most people think CERN is trying creating a black hole. Which they aren't.
And they're primarily searching for 'Swiss' or 'Switzerland.' No one seems to realize that scientists from over 70 countries are at the CERN - and the #1 contributer is the United States (2nd is Japan).

I just thought some of these were funny though.

@cern's been updating on twitter and so far the experiment is going quite successful.

Those search terms are hilarious.

Those search terms are fantastic!

I hope all the 'black hole' stuff doesn't get in the way of the research. Will be reading your blog about it - haven't got anything but the basics as yet.

Ever since I wrote post announcing that my Etsy shop is open, I seem to have become Google's expert on "grand opening announcements". I get a hit on that or similar search terms almost every day:-)

I loved the search phrases. And then they claim that Bible could not possibly have errors in it.

I don't currently have any weird search terms used, other than my top two referring keywords: "January" and "about". I didn't even know you could search using "about".
