Just to be provincial I looked down the list for top queries in Canada. Number 7 is canadian tire.

How do I say cultural brain freeze?

Oh, forgive me, Canadian tire shows up in the lyrics of an Arrogant Worms song. That must be it.

[Michael Redman]

Shouldn't that be "Canadian Tyre"?

"50 Cent" is the pseudonym of an American rapper. I believe Sister Yahweh2 owns a "50 Cent" CD. I dont particularly care for the guy.

Great beat on that radio hit "In The Club". Not much else.

I don't understand what most of them mean. Er "50 cent"?, NASCAR? ( a puter game?) WWE? :confused: Paris Hilton? ( a person?)

50 Cent= Rap Star
Nascar= Cars driving around in circles really fast
WWE= Wrestling I believe
Paris Hilton= Boobies

I can see all the pop stars, but I was gratified to learn that Le Tour was #10 on Google.
Does Google catalogue hits from all over the world? If so, that probably explains it.
