Gerd adds: well, I don’t know about this study, frankly -I am from Germany and live in Switzerland (the 2 top countries) and I really can’t see how these 2 countries would rate #1 and 2, like this - does not feel that way at all, here.  Someone enlighten me? Maybe analyzing Google queries just isn’t the right way to approach this (Algorithm Failure:==)

Thanks to Earl de Blonville for sending this link, btw.

futuramb: Me, being a Swede, sadly can agree with that Sweden might be at 19th place on this list. Anyone disagreeing with this?
