This is an interesting site if you want to see the peaks and valleys through the year. Click on the various topic tabs for charting.

Originally Posted By gadzuux I'm surprised at janet jackson being No. 1. The whole 'wardrobe malfunction' flap was from the 2004 super bowl - two years ago! Still the jackson family must be proud - between janet and michael they hold down two of the top ten slots - quite an achievement.

Originally Posted By gadzuux I 'googled' myself and my family members recently.

It's dry stuff about software glitches and work-arounds, but google still found it. Try googling yourself and your friends and family - you never know what might pop up.
