Gone back to "when will the world end" again, at least in Britain. Some of us are really pessimistic and gullible. The one for "Will I ever" is "Will I ever be good enough?"
Maybe time-dependent too. I got "When will the Midwest warm up?", which is a perfectly reasonable question for somebody in the Midwest to be asking in April.
I just got "when will it snow" and "when will trump be impeached"... I'm using Google.com but I live in Rwanda, definitely no snow expected here any time soon! ;)
First result was the world end here too, but puzzlingly, the second result was "when will the analytics tracking code send an event hit to google analytics", which I understand nothing about and feels weirdly specific. (Canada here, for the record)
Here are some funny ones from Estonia: "can dogs see television/in dark/behind them/tv" and the 5th suggestion is "color". "can i marry my car/second cousin/-self/cat/-self legally" and the 6th suggestion is "cousin".
I'm in Chicago. "When will the world end?" is second for me, behind "When will David Johnson return?" I didn't even know who that is. Google says he is the injured running back for the Arizona Cardinals. I don't know why the return of a player to a team that is nowhere near the playoffs on the last week of the season would be a bigger deal than the world ending, but...people really love football, I guess.
Cool quiz, but these are unpopular. I want popular ones like "how to tie a tie" or "why is the sky blue" or "is pneumonia contagious." You get the point.
I typed in "I hate it when" and the #1 answer was "a chinchilla eats the universe." I don't think many people would guess that. #4 was "I hate it when Voldemort uses my shampoo," and #5 was "I hate it when Voldemort steals my Nutella." I guess that's how he earned his reputation and as that which cannot be named...
great idea for a quiz. Though I bet you could come up with some more interesting suggestions if you looked. I guess the truly bizarre ones would just be too hard to guess though.
I love when people google things like these. Makes it easier to get an answer without asking dumb questions yourself. :D I'm not saying that all of these are dumb.
The typical American can't distiguish different accents from England. I lived there 5 years and can tell the difference between someone from Norfolk and Suffolk. It just took some time
Having actually worked beside, lived with, and known at length many British people with British accents, they don't sound smart at all to me... I think this is just the product of British accents being the go-to accent for smart people in American movies, TV shows, etc... and often the voice on educational documentary programs.
It's curious, isn't it? I think people perceive our accents differently. I saw one study where they gave Britons and Americans ten accents and asked them to put them in order of preference. Both put RP English at the top, but while the Brits preferred Scottish and Welsh lilts, the Americans really liked Cockney and Scouse. And hasn't Glaswegian recently been voted the sexiest accent by Americans? Whereas a lot of Brits will associate a Glaswegian accent with being uneducated, lower-class or just incomprehensible.
I had no clue what Unladen Swallow referred to so I read the Wikipedia article on the subject and now....I still have no clue what Unladen Swallow means. Can anyone enlighten me (in plain English)?? Thank you....
Thank you for the explanation. I did get the Monty Python reference but there is a Wikipedia article which states: "Unladen Swallow was a project sponsored by Google that was an optimization branch of CPython. It aimed to achieve its goals by supplementing CPython's custom virtual machine with a just-in-time compiler built using LLVM." I was hoping someone could translate THAT for me!
Python is a programming language. In the article that you talk about, they say: "Like many things regarding the Python language, "Unladen Swallow" is a Monty Python reference, specifically to the gag about the airspeed velocity of unladen swallows in Monty Python and the Holy Grail"
I feel bad for this, but moon was not the first thing I thought of for "what is a blue ___" . I won't type what I tried first, but I doubt I'm the first one who did it, LOL.
Why are so many soccer players named - it should be Traore or Rodriguez. There are only 2 Ronaldo's I know of, but there are just so many Traore's and Rodriguez's.
2. When will I die
3. When will David Johnson return (apparently lots of fantasy football players on Google recently)

Cool quiz, but these are unpopular. I want popular ones like "how to tie a tie" or "why is the sky blue" or "is pneumonia contagious." You get the point.
I hate it when I lose ...
or just
I hate it when
those are even funnier
The question is a reference to "Monty Python and the Holy Grail", a very funny movie which you should rent immediately if you haven't seen it.
Yes, and marry our cousins.
What are you talking about Shelbyville? Why would we want to marry our cousins?
Because they're so attractive.
lol
