I'm wondering why I didn't know about this before, but it's really damned cool: The Lycos 50 is a regular column that is written based on the top 50 items that users search for at Lycos.
I especially like the "One To Watch" and "Mystery Terms" sections; Nice to know that some searches are so obscure even the experts don't know why people are typing them into their browsers...
