Google trends breaks down any terms that you enter by the countries and cities where it most commonly searched.

Did you know that Dokdo has 34 more sunny days per year than Takeshima?


HaHaHa!!!
And did you know that Kimchi produced on Dokdo contains twice the amount of avian bird flu antedote as that produced on Takeshima?


Did you know that stem cell research on Dokdo is completely ethical even if you use your assistant's eggs, while on Takeshima cave people are only beginning to explore the possibilities of the wheel?

Wow, thanks for the laughs! ! !

Check out this awesome quote:

Quote:
When Japan�s Shimane prefecture established a �Takeshima Day� last year to declare its ownership of the islets, angry demonstrations erupted in South Korea, accompanied by weeks of saturation media coverage. Among the extreme reactions were a mother and son slicing off their little fingers in front of the Japanese embassy and a man setting himself on fire.


Man that is just insane! Laughing

Now, I wonder if this means Japanese don't use Google or they simply don't care about the debate. Probably a little bit of both.
