The weirdest thing you had to google

[Owl]

As writers, we all have weird stuff we have to research and hope that no one ever finds in our search history. I, for example, because I sound a damn suspicious lot like a serial killer.
Awesome things I've googled before:
-The symptoms a corpse has after dying from opium overdose
-Tasteless poisons
-Symptoms of ricin poisoning
And a lot of other stuff like that. What's the funniest/weirdest/creepiest thing you've researched because you needed it for writing?

Dicks.
Lots of dicks.

Also stuff like how long it would take to burn somebody's flesh off at certain temperatures and stuff like that, I guess.

I literally JUST GOOGLED THIS before i read this post. Im sure it is not the weirdest. but random enough. And yes, for novel plot research.

Well, first off, you have to roll for anal circumference.

I have a feeling of deja vu. I've seen this somewhere.

I have just chuckled my way through the responses. Awesome. I can't even begin to compete :D

I started quite recently so I don't think I have anything weird, or I didn't consider it weird yet. I can proudly announce that after over 12 years with English I finally learned that the little fancy small poles with a cloth, that often mark paths during events, are called stanchions, thanks to one of the things I needed for my novel.

Perhaps you heard of it from another time in another land.

I am 100% sure that is a meme spawned by the FATAL tabletop rpg.

Strange things for writings. I have searched for many strange things, but few for writing so far. I usually know my stuff from elsewhere.

But this should be strange. I am trying to turn this song into a children song in one of my stories.

[HURGMCGURG]

I tried to find as many words for "dead body" as possible. Don't ask.

 

[Venior]

With the amount of religious subtext and names I've Googled for reference -- from Greek to Christianity -- the people at Google probably think I'm either super religious or some sort of historian.

Oh and I look up synonyms for some weirdly niche words.

 

[PandaSempai]

I tried to search for things related to some religions or some kind of strong beings that are depicted in some stories. So far, I've searched about Heaven, Chuthulu(idk if I got the spelling right), Zoroastrianism, and so and so forth. I even learned that, in Qur'an, Gabriel have so many wings that it could envelop Earth.

Oh, and there's also the research about Spatial Intelligence and such.

Wrote a story about serial killers before and had to google: Ways to kill someone with (x). If someone died mysteriously around me I'm 100% sure I'd be suspect number 1...
