[What's Burning?]

I just ran across a really interesting google search feature... it allows you to search for specific words from all published books.

An extremely addictive new Internet toy allows you to track the frequency of specific words in books going back all the way to 1500. We decided to check out how words like "depression," "ho," and "vagina" fared through the ages.

According to the Times, Google used over 5 million books to create its searchable database of words and phrases over time, which creators hope will allow humanities scholars to track the development of literature in new ways. Whatever, we know what you care about:
