Keep in mind what data this is drawing from - it's not what people know about, it's what they google.

As such it's probably better considered as a measure of how often people aren't familiar with something, but suddenly find themselves wanting to more about it. It's not too surprising that that happens more for a popular video game or a regulatory law than for a historical figure or a programming language.

What the hell... Must be the 2013 movie. Everything on this search is shallower than Shallow Hal.
