The most Googled questions of 2020 aren’t so surprising: Why is it called COVID-19? Why is Australia burning? Why are people protesting? Why is the moon pink? Kofi Lost, a Boston-based artist tasked with writing and narrating last year’s Google Year in Search, a video that illustrates some of Google’s top searches from the year, sat for a while with a long list of the questions, pen in hand, paper blank.

The band suggested the bird found in a Melbourne backyard on Dec. 26 was a racing pigeon that had left the U.S. state of Oregon, 3,000 kilometers (8,000 miles) away, two months earlier. On that basis, Australian authorities said on Thursday they considered the bird a disease risk and planned to kill it. But Deone Roberts, sport development manager
Australia's richest person Gina Rinehart has been overheard 'discussing' how her new BMW was delivered to her Italian residence, preventing her from taking a spin until travel bans are lifted. The mining magnate, worth just shy of $30billion, discussed her Covid car conundrum while at an expensive lunch with five guests on the Sunshine Coast, reports The Daily Telegraph.

And she could either tell the world, or pretend it never happened. Her students had been having trouble reproducing lab data. Once she looked into it and she figured out why, she told them, "Guys,

The artists sweeping up included British pop star Harry Styles, who had the highest selling album of last year with Fine Line coming in at number one.
