I wouldn't be surprised if the "pi" trend correlates well with vacation times in academia.

  Sure, but are school curricula really that well coordinated across the english-speaking world? I'm kind of surprised that the graphs match so well: http://www.google.com/trends?q=natural+logarithm%2Cbase+10%2Cdirac http://www.google.com/trends?q=natural+logarithm%2Cbase+10%2... http://www.google.com/trends?q=hamlet%2Csocrates%2Ctruman http://www.google.com/trends?q=hamlet%2Csocrates%2Ctruman

      Yes, but : http://www.google.com/trends?q=base+10,dirac,+wrist+band&ctab=0&geo=us&geor=all&date=all&sort=0 http://www.google.com/trends?q=base+10,dirac,+wrist+band&#38... This is a US specific plot, but the world wide one is similar. There are plausible explainations for a correlation between the type of breakfast and the school cycle. The spike at the end of 2007 appears for any queries when you look at the world-wide data.
