Another interesting one is pi: http://www.google.com/trends?q=pi http://www.google.com/trends?q=pi
Ignore the spike near 14 March and look at the log low dip in summer and the sharp upslope in August-September.
Other very seasonal queries:

Also, for some reason, "DYI", "pi", and "horses" all had large spikes around the end of 2007. Anyone want to guess why? Data gremlins?

- diabolical 17y agoMarch 14 is Pi day.
- chengmi 17y agoI wouldn't be surprised if the "pi" trend correlates well with vacation times in academia.
- aristus 17y agoSure, but are school curricula really that well coordinated across the english-speaking world? I'm kind of surprised that the graphs match so well: http://www.google.com/trends?q=natural+logarithm%2Cbase+10%2Cdirac http://www.google.com/trends?q=natural+logarithm%2Cbase+10%2... http://www.google.com/trends?q=hamlet%2Csocrates%2Ctruman http://www.google.com/trends?q=hamlet%2Csocrates%2Ctruman

- pygy 17y agoYes, but : http://www.google.com/trends?q=base+10,dirac,+wrist+band&ctab=0&geo=us&geor=all&date=all&sort=0 http://www.google.com/trends?q=base+10,dirac,+wrist+band&... This is a US specific plot, but the world wide one is similar. There are plausible explainations for a correlation between the type of breakfast and the school cycle. The spike at the end of 2007 appears for any queries when you look at the world-wide data.
