We live in an age where if we're unsure of a fact, we can
just Google it.
And it appears many people ask the search engine some
strange questions and rely on it to provide guidance in the event of an
existential crisis, asking 'when will I die?' and 'why are we here?'
Thousands of people ask Google if they are pregnant,
whether pigs sweat and where to hide a dead body, every month.
The most popular question on the pictorial chart, created
by marketing agency Digitaloft is: 'Am I pregnant?'
A staggering 90,500 women ask the search engine this
question every month, presumably hoping it can provide an answer in lieu of a
pregnancy test.
The second and third most popular questions on the list
are: 'How do I get home?' and 'are aliens real?'
While the first question may seem downright daft, a box
pops up allowing users in input their postcode or zipcode, to help them with
their journey, but unfortunately the search engine is not able to beat Nasa in
its quest to find alien life, which it hopes to do before 2025.
Of course many people use Google as a digital doctor,
searching for answers to embarrassing ailments. So it's no surprise users ask
it bizarre questions about their body.
According to the chart, 49,500 people a month ask whether
passing wind burns calories, but unfortunately the myth this bodily function
burns 67 calories is false.
Some 22,200 are curious as to why men have nipples, while
a more troubled 4,400 people a month Google 'why does my bellybutton smell?'
Worryingly, 3,600 people a month ask whether men have
periods, with another 2,900 querying whether men can become pregnant,
displaying a rather poor grasp of biology.
A whopping 49,500 people ask the search engine 'when will
I die' every month and it seems users are just as clueless when it comes to
animals.
Some 18,100 people ask Google whether penguins have knees
every month, 8,100 want to know if pigs sweat and 2,900 are curious whether
worms have eyes – they don't.
An insecure 2,900 people every month ask the search
engine 'does my dog love me?' every month.
Other popular but worrying questions people ask Google
every month, include ' how do I hide the dead body? – with 480 queries and
'what happens if I drink blood?' with 880 queries a month.
Some 800 people a month ask Google 'can I marry my
cousin?' according to the infographic, meaning 10,560 people a year might be
considering popping the question to a relative.
Others are in search of answers to life's mysteries, with
8,100 people asking Google 'why are we here?' every month and the same number
asking if the tooth fairy is real.
A clueless 880 people ask where dinosaurs live every
month and a further 5,400 whether the Earth is flat – just a couple of thousand
years after Aristotle provided evidence for a spherical Earth in 330BC.
