Google's Most Commonly Asked "Can You Be" Search Question

One of the newer features of Firefox is the ability to suggest searches to you when you begin typing in the built in search bar.

It's convenient, especially when you are asking a question that others have surely asked before.

I got a nice chuckle today when I started to type a "can you be" question and Google suggested these possible searches:

- can you be pregnant and still have a period
- can you be pregnant and still have your period
- can you be pregnant and still get your period
- can you be pregnant and have a period
- can you be pregnant and have your period
- can you be pregnant and get your period
- can you be pregnant if you get your period

And this is only after typing "can you be " (notice the space).

Obviously, this is a popular question among Google searchers.

What does it tell us? I hesitate to make any assumptions or judgments based on this, but obviously it gets asked a lot.
