  B. K. S. Iyengar's page in #1 in English, German, Spanish, French, Catalans and Swedish. Is this a bug or is there a reason all of Europe and the US is fascinated by him today? And what's wrong with the Italians?

    Yesterday was his birthday, and the Google Doodle was about him. That probably had a big effect on the article's ranking, as I know I and many others clicked it and read more about him.

    > Always a popular article, but rarely this high on the chart. Founder Mark Zuckerberg's (#18) recent announcement that he planned to give away 99% of the gazillions he has earned from giving us the ability to "like" posts about internet memes and keep informed of the insane racist rantings of your distant relatives likely caused the view bump this week. That's fantastic.
