On good reason for "cnn" being the top query- IE / FireFox with google toolbars or google as the default search engine. Kinda like when MSN had "google" as their top query. By default, IE searches for the site if you don't enter .com or whatever.Funny that it was five years ago. Doesn't seem that long, and yet it feels like an eternity.On a less somber note, let's identify all the people that searched for "Nostradamus" and round them up. We can put them on an island, or something.
Google doesn't make logos for "serious" events. I don't think they celebrate D-Day, and I know they didn't celebrate Memorial Day (<a class="user" href="http://newsbusters.org/node/5580).">http://newsbusters.org/node/5580).</a> They try to make lighthearted, fun logos - something that would be downright disrespectful for certain events such as 9/11.
You don't deserve the life that has been given to you. The world would be a much better place if we could trade people undeserving of life like you, for the lives of the innocent decent people who have died in tragedies like 9/11. More then just Americans died that day. It was called the 'WORLD' Trade Center for a reason. I don't laugh when people die in Iraq, I don't laugh when people die in Afghanistan, I didn't laugh when people died in the tsunami, I don't laugh when people die....period.I don't doubt you were one of the people dancing in the streets cheering that day. It is always sad when people die unnecessarily and is not dependent on race, religion or color.
@TehKidThat's not even something you joke about. Seriously - I'm surprised I didn't throw up when I read that comment. How could you laugh when thousands of people die?
Could it be that nobody knew who was behind all this when the page was captured? After all, it was "breaking news", and it took a bit to figure out who the "perps" were. That said, a couple of burning Twin Towers and a smoking Pentagon in yesterday's logo would not have made very many people happy. Maybe turning the page black like Google did a few months ago would have been a better memorial. But the Google hierarchy tends Democratic and they probably didn't want to give any points to their adversaries (who are, after all, the ones who've prevented further attacks and hence are the ones everyone turns to (either to praise or blame) when 9/11 is mentioned).

Can you seriously not figure out how this is relevant?
