Wikicharts
Wikipedia has millions of articles, but what do people actually read? The recently created Wikipedia charts may give us a rough idea of user's real interests. As of today, the top articles are:
1. Main Page
2. JonBenét Ramsey
3. United States
4. Wikipedia
5. Pluto
6. Irukandji jellyfish
7. Wii
8. Jeff Hardy
9. Pokémon
10. Neighbours
Gaming and anime are doing really well in Wikipedia: Wii (7), Pokémon (9), Fable (20), Sasuke Uchiha (25) Final Fantasy VII (35), Red-Haired Shanks (39), Son Goku (Dragon Ball) (85) and Dragon Ball GT (92); just to mention a few. Unfortunately, wrestling is also very popular (why, oh why?).
What about technology law? The highest possible legal-tech-related article is BitTorrent at 95. Yes, nobody cares about the law...
The most disturbing articles? I'm trying to decide between the high popularity of Beverly Hills, 90210 (73), or the World Wrestling Entertainment roster (18). However, Priyanka Chopra (13) restores my faith in humanity.

Pluto ascent on the Wikicharts should be no surprise. A recent meeting of a group of scientists announced that Pluto was no longer a planet, causing outrage among Pluto's supporters.
I found it surprising because not a lot of people care about Astronomy (at least in my experience).
Could it be Astrologers are looking into it?
