WHAT. . . Am I Going to Write about Tonight?

Awhile back, just for kicks, I went on to Google and typed the opening words to questions--who, what, when, where, why, and how--into the search bar.  I wanted to see what Google's top "suggestion" to complete the question would be.  Tonight, feeling at a loss for a post topic, I did this again.

As was the case last time, typing "Why" prompted Google to suggest "is the sky blue?"  This time around, "What" generated--unsurprisingly--"does the fox say?"  And "Who" led to "should I start?"--a nod to the ubiquity of fantasy football leagues.

I was intrigued, though, by the suggestions for "Where," "When," and "Who":

Where am I?
When is my birthday?
How old am I?

I can only conclude that Google users have lately suffered an inordinate amount of head trauma.
