...So long, hell raiser. Searches for "hells angels" (+751%) revved up for the funeral for San Francisco chapter president Mark "Papa" Guardado (+2,065%). In true rebel form, Guardado met his end shot in a barroom brawl, apparently at the hand of a member of the rival "mongols motorcycle club" (+808%). According to USA Today, 2,000 Hells Angels and their Harleys attended the funeral to pay their respects.

 ...A world of difference. Brangelina. The smallest man. The longest legs. These oddities share a place in the 2009 version of the "guinness book of world records" (+386), which is buzzing it's weird way up Search. Pitt and Jolie were declared the world's most powerful actor and actress, and yes, you helped decide this: According to an article on Whyfame, Guinness World Records calculates star power through a mix of online searches, news stories, and "Star Meter" ratings, among other measures.

...Not in good taste. A food fight is buzzing in Search over "obama waffles" (+215%). The product was being peddled at a conservative summit until organizers said they realized the boxes contained "offensive material," according to the Huffington Post. While the creators of the product claimed the waffle mix was simply political satire, the product seemed to hark back to the days of Aunt Jemima stereotyping.
