[Anny Ballardini]

Very interesting Tad.

    What's your top one, Mole?  The one beginning with Dublin.

    I tried "visual poetry" sure it would strike out, but thinking it'd be pretty funny if it didn't.  It struck out.

    Poetry yielded:
          1. Brisbane, Australia   
           
          2. New York, NY, USA   
           
          3. Philadelphia, PA, USA   
           
          4. Denver, CO, USA   
           
          5. Vancouver, Canada   
           
          6. Boston, MA, USA   
           
          7. Chicago, IL, USA   
           
          8. Sydney, Australia   
           
          9. Seattle, WA, USA   
           
          10. Washington, DC, USA  


    big tits yielded

          1. Birmingham, United Kingdom   
           
          2. Manchester, United Kingdom   
           
          3. Montreal, Canada   
           
          4. Brentford, United Kingdom   
           
          5. Miami, FL, USA   
           
          6. Houston, TX, USA   
           
          7. Los Angeles, CA, USA   
           
          8. Toronto, Canada   
           
          9. Melbourne, Australia   
           
          10. Chicago, IL, USA   
           

    It would seem that all that counts is number of searches rather than number of searches per capita, which would be much more interesting.  Although New York's poor showing for big tits is pretty interesting.  (And where'd this Brentford come from?)
