    I like how it sees how blogging, male virginity, and WoW all target the same demographic.

    Truly google is smarter than your average search engine.

    I'm also tempted to make a Terminator reference...
    "Google begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 3:37 pm eastern time on April 4, 2008. In a panic, they try to pull the plug."

    This is actually a great idea. And what people are failing to realize is that it isn't Google who is smart in this regard to the relationship between male virgins and WOW players. It's the internet marketer who is using "world of warcraft" keywords in adwords in order to target male virgins. It's pretty genius if you ask me and I bet you could do similar things with searches for Star Trek or D&D.

    Just a quick follow up, I wonder how many WOW players actually are male virgins? I'm considering doing a survey on this.
