The site refreshes itself every fifteen seconds to show you a list of ten subjects currently being searched.

A few of the oddest search requests included topics like ufology in Ontario and barbecue dust.

You probably have heard of the Tamagotchi or Giga Pets, but have you heard of the Tamagothi? It's the same kind of digital pet, only they have double the angst and wear a lot of black clothes. Have fun clicking on the Tamagothi as it morphs into a sullen Mopeygothi or an angry Industrogothi.

The most interesting section has to be the quote page where she talks about her mall tours and how she loves to shop.
