This is pretty cool, but it's hard to think of good parameters that generate a funny or interesting diagram. Maybe you could think of some more suggestions.

Deep down, I always knew that the only factor differentiating the Mac from everything else is that it's damn expensive in Australia.
According to mine it's differentiated by being "better than PC" and being illegal.

More confusingly it enjoys relationships with Ryan and Kyle (a soap?), "ulay culkin dead" which I'm assuming was a rumour about the Home Alone star, and "ookout pregnant again", which really confused me when I assumed it was referring to Macbooks...

If you get rid of the "Why" and "so", the queries become much more interesting, albeit somewhat garbled:

programming languages: http://www.technomancy.org/google-suggest-venn/#start=is+X&#... (s/c/perl) operating systems: http://www.technomancy.org/google-suggest-venn/#start=is+X&#... (mac and ryan back together? is linux illegal?)

etc.

definitely needs a gallery of good ones. You could build a whole blog out of this.
This is probably very politically incorrect, but if you put different enthnicities or nationalities (blacks, French people, whites) as parameters, it's pretty easy to see what people's stereotypes are.
Someone has to play the advocatus diaboli:

It's shocking, but also shockingly funny. Caveat emptor, guys. Personally, I'm appalled but hardly surprised. On average, the internet remains a very stupid place.
