Our top picks from the day's hottest searches.
- Ruth Madoff (Searches increased by 811%). Just because she's not in jail like her scam-artist husband, doesn't mean she gets to keep all her stuff. Feds are sizing up assets to seize, including houses, cars, boats, silverware, and a piano.
- Seattle Post-Intelligencer (+457%). The Seattle daily newspaper stopped its presses today and transitioned to the Web.
- You're Welcome America (+377%). Will Ferrell took his impression of George W. Bush to the stage, which then aired live on HBO. For a sampling of the one-man show, go here.
- Green beer (+196%). Today is St. Patrick's Day: Get your Irish on.
- Body detox (+263%). For those who prefer not to eat when dieting, then detox is for you (and apparently, Angelina Jolie).
