Inspired by XKCD's future timeline, I've created this app

<a href="http://future.rouli.net/?query=2042" rel="nofollow">http://future.rouli.net/?query=2042</a><p>The net predicts that 2042 is most likely to happen before 2041<p>Yeah.

In 2012 we will know The answer to life, the univers and everything.<p><a href="http://future.rouli.net/?query=the%20answer%20to%20life%20the%20universe%20and%20everything" rel="nofollow">http://future.rouli.net/?query=the%20answer%20to%20life%20th...</a><p>Anyway 42 is much more difficult to tell...<p><a href="http://future.rouli.net/?query=42" rel="nofollow">http://future.rouli.net/?query=42</a>

Could you add an option to make the y-axis have a logarithmic scale?<p>Some results have hundreds of thousands of results for 2012, but only a few for other years, so it's harder to see a pattern.

Bacon is happening right now: <a href="http://future.rouli.net/?query=bacon" rel="nofollow">http://future.rouli.net/?query=bacon</a><p>But flying bacon will take a few years: <a href="http://future.rouli.net/?query=pigs%20fly" rel="nofollow">http://future.rouli.net/?query=pigs%20fly</a>

I always wondered when the Steam Engine would be invented. Now I know it's gonna happen before 2020. <a href="http://future.rouli.net/?query=steam%20engine" rel="nofollow">http://future.rouli.net/?query=steam%20engine</a>
