NH came in second to either Vermont or Maine for most of the things I tried. But we lead in fireworks and liquor (and liquor store). ---

Maryland is number one for crab (mmmm awesome), mason dixon (because who else would search for this). Agree that I wish I could just click maryland and see what we’re topping the charts in. West Virginia is number one for incest and dementia. Washington is number one for goat porn. Connecticut is number one for heroin. Montana is number one for ketamine. Wyoming is number one for horse sex. ---

_corn pork soybeans farming agriculture_ How utterly predictable we are. For some reason, Rhode Island leads the nation in _donuts_, but Oregon is first in _doughnuts_ (with RI a very close second). Rhode Islanders (and Oregonians), what is it with you and toroidal breakfast pastries? Why am I not all that surprised that New Jersey came in first for _shithead_? ---

Seeing who searches “obama muslim” …can’t say I’m shocked. Searching “where am i” …it seems only people in North Dakota, Delaware, and Wyoming really know where they are. New York leads the nation in “yes” while Virginia leads the nation in “no”. Is there some kind of long term argument going on there? ---

So far, I’ve gotten NY to be #1 for searching for Albany. It’s #2 for politician, and #7 for corrupt. But there’s no data for “corrupt politician” dammit. NY is #1 with searching for the finger, however. Consider yourselves all to have been given the salute! To my absolute amusement, for all the press that Love Canal still gets, it’s NJ that is #1 for cancer cluster. (NY is #4) While NV is #1 for escorts, NY has the trophy for call girls. (And takes silver for street whore, while Florida takes the gold.) > [@robardin](#): > > Now what might NY be _last_ in? I tried to think of Western/Southwestern US terms. “Rodeo” came close, it’s in the bottom 10 but not dead last (even counting ties). And “hoosegow” was a big surprise: NY is actually _third_, behind Florida and Illinois (?!). > > I’ll have to work on that one! Yanno, this sort of attitude is part of why the upstate part of the state doesn’t trust you downstaters. 😉 We’ve got several established rodeos in Buffalo and Rochester areas. ---
