Today I Googled.. Most Googled

Google, what is the most Googled subject matter for today?

The number one Google Search on Sept. 7th is “Spokeo”. Spokeo is a social networking site that gets all of its information from other social networking sites (i.e. Twitter, Facebook, MySpace) as well as the phone book and basically broadcasts your most intimate, personal information to the rest of the world. This information includes your personal income, socioeconomic data concerning your neighborhood, and even a 3D visual of your home. This is a very dangerous medium and could facilitate burglaries and identity theft, thus, I strongly recommend you find your information and alter the privacy settings to enable the feature. ALSO among the top five Google searches was Costco store hours. Please see below for future reference : )

Today I Googled Symbolism of Piggy Banks

Google, why is a pig the go to animal for saving?

Summary: Someone made a mistake.
Around the fifteenth century, they often constructed pots out of a clay material called pygg. When a merchant would earn an extra dime or two he would throw it in one of these pygg pots, hense, they began to call them pygg banks. (Can you see where this is going yet…?) Over the next few hundred years the meaning of “pygg bank/pyggy bank” as the material was lost (along with the spelling) and people just went on with their daily lives… unscathed… UNTIL one day some boob of a potter was asked to make a “piggy bank” and so he took that request in its most literal form and made a jar in the shape of a pig! Needless to say, the patron was overjoyed and the creation blossomed into a treasured staple for all future home banking needs. : )
