'How to sell your soul' and other kooky questions Texans ask on the internet

Imagine you're listening to a little kid rattle on, asking questions about anything and everything.

  • How to bathe a cat?
  • How to make gak?
  • How to grow a beard fast?
  • How to play clarinet?
  • How to read minds?

Those five questions, and more, are in fact real questions that Texans have frequently Googled, according to Estately.

Every so often, Estately pulls data to show popular Google searches in each state. In the past, Texans were known to search "Where is the Internet?" and "Am I a lesbian?" and "Where is heaven?" In Estately's latest effort, the real estate website looked for how-to questions. Those listed here are asked more frequently in Texas than in other states. Note that they aren't necessarily what each state Googles the most; they're what each state Googles more than other states.

Texans are special because we asked questions such as "How to get bigger lips" and "How to spell 40" <-- Yikes.

Some were more personal, like "How to be romantic" and "How to be a better wife" and "How to be a better husband" and "How to be gay."

The scariest have to be "How to make a pipe bomb" and "How to sell your soul" The first is scary because there's an answer for that. The second is scary because the devil might very well live inside the internet.

Estately pulled this data by using Google Autocomplete and Google Trends over the past five years.
