Zany Zeitgeist
It’s interesting to pop by the Google zeitgeist occasionally, which shows top 10 lists of what people are googling for all over the world.
On Google Ireland this July, Liverpool were more popular than Man Utd and Nina bridal shoes (whatever they are) were on many people’s minds.
It is refreshing to know that even the geniuses at Google can get a little muddled sometimes. Who do they have as the 5th most popular woman searched for? Sherry Fitzgerald! 
For the benefit of those who may not get this Irish joke, while I’m sure there are many lovely girls called Sherry Fitzgerald around, it’s probably more likely that most were googling for the estate agents. Thanks to Aisling for the tip off.

And it does. I’m like the markup police lately after taking you to task on your use of lists on the sevens post.
