    "Thirty days hath September..." and depending on which variation of the Month Poem (69 according to Leapzine), 28 is all February stores, till Leap Year gives it one day more.

    We could've used the extra rest. January started off rough, but a faltering economy drove people online looking for relief and stimulus. Meanwhile, Hollywood writers put down their picket signs, but not soon enough to save the Oscars. Still, we had enough drama with underdog Giants, "American Idol" ringers, the curious connection between "Sports Illustrated" swimsuit models and steroids, and a fearsome U.S. presidential contest.

    Now with that longest of short months behind us, reflect what searches registered big in spikes and total numbers.
