    Suprise suprise.
    The most read "news" stories are the culture/life stuff.

    What Shamu Taught Me About a Happy Marriage was read more than Saddam Hussein sentenced to death by hanging, Iran successfully test firing 3 new missiles, Skilling sentenced to 24 years in prison, North Korea's claims to have conducted its first nuke test, Google's buyout of YouTube for $1.7 billion, and hundreds of other significant events in 2006.

    Random aside:
    Google: 2006 midterm election results - 1.4 million results
    Google: Korean nuke tests - 1.1 million results
    Google: paris hilton - 40 million results

    Google NEWS: paris hilton - 6069 results
    Google NEWS: north korean test - 6023 results

    CURRENT TOP 10 FoxNews read stories, I haven't been able to get a list of over 2006, but the stories are all the same regardless of the news site it seems. No actual current events.

    # Air Force Staff Sergeant Relieved of Duties After Posing Nude in Playboy
    # Police: Blast at U.S. Embassy in Athens Is 'Act of Terrorism'
    # Texas High School Teacher Charged Under 'Peeping-Tom' Law for Videotaping Girls Wrestling
    # 14 Carter Center Advisers Resign Over Former President Jimmy Carter's Book
    # Over-the-Counter Cold and Cough Medicines Can Kill Babies, CDC Says
    # James Brown's 5-Year-Old Son Left Out of His Will
    # Man Arrested in Indiana Workplace Shooting Says He Shot Disabled Workers Over 'Respect'
    # Duke Lacrosse 'Rape' Accuser Changes Story Again, Says Seligmann Didn't Touch Her
    # Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz Break Up
    # Rosie O'Donnell's Row With Barbara Walters Predates Trump
    CNN's most popular stories ATM.

    * Playboy pose costs staff sergeant
    * Lawyers: Brown son, 5, not in will
    * Suave Russian billionaire arrested
    * Officials flap as birds fall from sky
    * Diaz, Timberlake split
    The ramifications are clear.
    The future of humanity is bleak.

    But did you read it? It was an interesting article.

    Maybe more people watch the news on TV or read the newspaper or magazines rather than surfing on the net? Maybe people most into current events don't waste hours and hours online. Or, maybe *they* just have other sources than the ones you quoted. Those statistics are pretty worthless...so there's still hope.

    But anyway, thanks for the links boutons ... there were some good articles.
