Counting the internet
The internet is an amazing and powerful enigma, capable of incredible self-analysis and calculations beyond anything we ever thought possible. Look how well we use it's awesome power. First, in 2003, we work out which words are used the most on the internet. Big surprise, the most popular word is 'the'. Thanks, internet. (It's author, Jonathon Harris, did at least go on to better things. Like this.)
Then we use the mighty power of the internet to analyse the mentions of body parts in the lyrics of different music genres in Fleshmap. So now I know that 'penis' is mentioned in 0.46% of hip hop songs. Thanks again, internet.
