Someone please explain why "I love you" is cyclical??? http://ngrams.googlelabs.com/graph?content=i+love+you&ye...
It's possible that's more to do with the distribution of books Google has scanned than anything.

Most interesting I've seen so far: Wall Street vs Silicon Valley: http://ngrams.googlelabs.com/graph?content=wall+street,silic...

In most cases the adjectival form of a country tracks pretty closely to the nominal form (e.g. France vs French and others) except for the case of England vs English/British, the latter two spike from almost nothing around 1795. I can't think of a good explanation for why those two forms were so rare in comparison with "England" before 1795, anyone have an idea?

What are those weird cycles in the Wall Street data ? Is that in any way related to the bubble/retraction cycle ?
This could be a better chart: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:GDP_growth_1923-2009.jpg
There might be some kind of relationship there, but I don't think it's the whole explanation.
