This from All Men Are Liars

Australia ranks third in the world when it comes to searches on the words "cars", "education", "football" and "marriage", second in the world for "money" and just ninth for "sex".

However, we come first for searches on the words "beer", suicide", "rich", "depression" and "God", which tells me we may be a little conflicted about the path to happiness.

It's also an interesting way to see what sexual kinks occupy various countries with "oral sex" a big issue in Romania (though it may be semantics because if you search on "blow jobs" the Canadians lead the pack), "anal sex" seems all the rage in Turkey (we're third), gang bangs are huge Down Under and "transsexuals" mighty popular in the Czech Republic.

When you break the data down into cities, however, it gets really interesting; for instance if you search on "How to make bombs" Australian cities rank second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth in the world - and we're worried about an Indian doctor?

Search on the word "bored" and guess which city leads the world for searches? Sydney, with Melbourne sixth and Brisbane eighth ...
