In conclusion...
I was totally shocked by some of those what is.. how to.. or Who is questions... 
So apparently people are most interested in learning how to kiss, followed by drawing and just next by knitting! Are those the three most important things someone might want to learn?
Now I looked down and I saw hack... lol, poor geeks trying to learn to hack 
And then you'll see crochet, well I searched to see what was that and it turned out it was something you have to do to knit!
Now just look at who is... They ask who is god to Google! As if the answer was somehow on the Internet!
And well, you can just take your own conclusions out of this...
