… Creature from the deep. As Gawker put it, it's been "our monsteriest season yet." Our obsession with beasts real and imagined continues today. A "giant squid" was found off the waters of Antarctica and recently dissected at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History. Curious lookie loos quickly sent searches for the 30-foot creature up 14,816%.

…The Talented Mr. Rockefeller. A mystery of a different nature cloaks Clark Rockefeller (+319%). The Rockefeller family says he is no more a Rockefeller than we are. But that didn't stop the German con man from passing as a member of the legendary family. People.com describes him as "the controversial figure at the center of a number of criminal investigations—including, most recently, the alleged abduction of his own 7-year-old daughter."

…Alive and kicking. The Internet is a dangerous place for celebrities, where rumors of stars' deaths are often wildly exaggerated. Dolly Parton is the latest to fall prey to the deathwatch. Searches on "dolly parton" (+ 288.32) and "dolly parton dies posts" (+254%) peaked on the false claims.
