Kyle Gabler, founder of the Experimental Gameplay Project and indie game studio 2D Boy, recently posted a few stats from his side project, Human Brain Cloud. The online "game" shows you a word or phrase and all you have to do is type in the first thing that comes to mind. The answers players give are amassed into a huge network of connected blobs viewable from the website. Nearly 800,000 associations have been submitted so far, connecting over 100,000 unique words and phrases. What's the most commonly submitted word? "Sex", of course. The second most common is "me", while the third is "money". Good to know the collective consciousness of the human race has its priorities straight. Human Brain Cloud lets you sit and submit as many associations as you want, and we spent more time than we'd like to admit adding our two cents to the project.

Anyway, I wouldn't go so far as to say this thing proves that "humans" think more about sex than anything else. I think it might prove that "humans who happen to be mostly male and under 25 and with enough time on their hands to be sitting in front of their computer rather than *actually* having sex right now" think about sex more than anything else.

nifty little site though.
it's funny to make what seems like an obscure connection, and find out 3 other people have done the same.
and what is that statistic about men? they think about sex every X seconds?
so play with this site for about 5 minutes, think about sex 20 times, somethings gonna spark it.
I'm sure the obvious recurring themes are going to be sex, greed, and love.
