Top 5 Google search terms of the summer

by Tom Merritt

The last time we did top Google search terms, half of Hollywood died before we could publish it. This time, we only missed Swayze's passing and Kanye West's antics. And of the folks that passed last time, only one showed up in the rising search terms for the past three months.

What that all means is that I think you can reliably say these are the hottest search terms. And one of them is Turkish. Be sure to post your answer to the trivia question below for a chance to win the football beads. And really, only answer the question if you have a valid e-mail address and will respond to our e-mails. Sound good?

by ismetd September 18, 2009 10:08 PM PDT: Turkish national sport is definitely wrestling (Gures in Turkish), a traditional national wrestling event called 'Kirkpinar Pehlivan Gures leri' being held annually for 6 centuries (yup 600 plus years once every year!!), website here www.kirkpinar.com

In that annual event wrestlers traditionally take a bath with olive oil just before they start wrestling, slippery oil makes impossible to grab each other, and they have to rely on muscle power to defeat opponent.; Like this Reply to this comment

by Berke.h September 19, 2009 7:26 AM PDT: I thought it would be "Cirit" before oil Wrestling. It's played on horses throwing javelins. But I learned that it was banned in 1800s. So, it's gotta be the Oil Wrestling which has survived to this day.
I'm late as always to watch the show. Darn...

And Wow! Turkey once more is in the top 5 Google Search.
