Inferring the News

2011-02-17
I like to check Google Trends every morning, and if I haven't already read a bunch of other stuff I like to infer what's going on in the news based on the Hot Searches.  Today was a sad day:


I didn't know his name until now, but Len "Uncle Leo" Lesser has passed away.  He was, depending on the point of the episode at which you tuned in, either "an Adonis" with "beautiful features and lovely skin," or "bald and paunchy" with "all kinds of sounds emanating from [his] body twenty-four hours a day."

He will be missed.

In unrelated, but even bigger news, I infer that Phillies tickets went on sale today.  And some people became aware of a place called "Bahrain."
