Awesome hack. I want to export the results! Bug: Some first letters are getting chomped for the search "guitar X" for X: Fender, Gibson, Yamaha http://www.technomancy.org/google-suggest-venn/#start=guitar... http://www.ampnote.com/venn.jpg Edit: It seems to be improving. Wish the Discus did not interfere with the circles!

Try a URI-encoded char code for X

This is pretty cool, but it's hard to think of good parameters that generate a funny or interesting diagram. Maybe you could think of some more suggestions.

Some technical suggestions: * programming languages: http://www.technomancy.org/google-suggest-venn/#start=Why+is... * operating systems: http://www.technomancy.org/google-suggest-venn/#start=Why+is... * popular websites: http://www.technomancy.org/google-suggest-venn/#start=Why+is...

If you get rid of the "Why" and "so", the queries become much more interesting, albeit somewhat garbled:

programming languages: http://www.technomancy.org/google-suggest-venn/#start=is+X&#... (s/c/perl) operating systems: http://www.technomancy.org/google-suggest-venn/#start=is+X&#... (mac and ryan back together? is linux illegal?)

etc.

Deep down, I always knew that the only factor differentiating the Mac from everything else is that it's damn expensive in Australia.

According to mine it's differentiated by being "better than PC" and being illegal.

More confusingly it enjoys relationships with Ryan and Kyle (a soap?), "ulay culkin dead" which I'm assuming was a rumour about the Home Alone star, and "ookout pregnant again", which really confused me when I assumed it was referring to Macbooks...

Oh, I think I need to wash my hands after posting this. http://www.technomancy.org/google-suggest-venn/#start=Why+ar...

Ohh look at the koreans part: "good at starcraft". I don't know if it's awesome (or sad) that Korean stereotypes (can I call it a stereotype? Since this is probably completely 100% true anyways), include being good at starcraft as one of their most talked about traits.

NAAAAA, it's freaking Awesome!

Wow, people don't think much of our politicians... http://www.technomancy.org/google-suggest-venn/#start=X+is&#... I guess this isn't too surprising.

The "Barack Obama is a cactus" thing had me really confused until I searched for it myself. It's an Onion article, and a funny one.

The "ues" "am" and "ael" entries seem to be a result of how the query is handled. "Hillary Clinton issues" is the autocomplete; it's dropping the s after "is" and giving us "ues".
