Guess What State Searches for ‘Poo’ the Most – StateStats
StateStats is like Google Insights but on a state level. Type in a search term and get Google search levels with correlations to certain "metrics" like obesity or support for Obama. Any Web application that uses correlation tends to make me feel a bit iffy, but it's just for fun, so I guess it's okay.
Being the immature man-child that I am, the first thing I type in the search field is poo. I thought it was hilarious interesting that Louisiana's relative search rate was so much higher than all the other states. Apparently, obesity correlates moderately.
I'm sure all of you will search for more sophisticated terms.

I searched for something more sophisticated: http://statestats.appspot.com/?q=fecal
yep, I had done a search for ‘myspace’

I thought the correlation was good.

Interesting if you search for “fuck” and “Mormon.” They are – strangely – anti-correlated.
FYI – “Poo-Yi” [poo-yie] is a cajun term used when having fun (for instance on a roller coaster or going down a slide). In the same realm as “Yahoo!” or “Weeeeeeee”.
But, probably most hits a for local “web-celeb” Poo-Poo Broussard

@Rajun Cajun – I knew there was some logical explanation behind it :)
