Google search results for "KH(Ax)N" for x=1 to 100

Just how long do most people hold down the 'a' key for, anyway? It drops off at 13 ("KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!") but picks up a little at 40 ("KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!).

65 is *obviously* not good enough for most, yet 81 seems more appropriate? LOL you gotta love the Internet!

@Jim Finnis That's an interesting comparison of how far this meme has come in a little over four years!

@mikejurney 99 and 100 were zero, but Excel won't plot zeroes on a logarithmic scale, and when I copied them they came out blank. Oops!

@drtofu I've long since accepted that with this many people in the world, most of my good ideas have already been thought of.

@dennis, @Lawrence Kesteloot Sweet graphs :)

Oh, and as someone has pointed out elsewhere, this chart is now completely out of date as a result of it having been created :D

Can you re-run the search script to see how much it has changed? Perhaps put it on a cron job and run it daily, then animate the results?

Only as a way of proving the "TMFT" theorem, of course.
