Orthocenter- What is an Orthocenter:
The answer could make you a millionaire

“Most of America is suddenly abuzz with the singular question of what is an orthocenter. Now,enlightened people will produce a thousand pages and more underlying the definition of an orthocenter, its formation,values,characteristics and a lot more but this question didn’t rise from the academia but came to light from a reality game show, the ever popular ‘Who wants to be a millionaire’.”

I go daily to Google’s hottest trends and see what strikes my fancy to talk about here in this blog. Being a former teacher the tricky little math term, orthocenter, struck my fancy and I started researching why this was “Hot”.

As you can read from the quoted article, clearly, not the most academic of reasons, but it was hot, nonetheless. What really intrigued me was the search I did. I usually try to find the original source so that I can quote the appropriate person and credit the website. On this occasion that was completely impossible.

After searching several sites and not seeing any human listed as author, I did an advanced search with the exact quote of the beginning of this article as my search words. I came up with more than twenty sites listed as carrying this exact quote. The website quoted above was far more listed in my search than any other, but none of the sites did I find a credited an author for the article.

The bottom line is I really wonder if these trends are actually started as a result of these “copy cats” who quote the entire article and then try to sell you some type of crap, or are they doing what I did; looking on Google, and then quoting the article so you’ll land on their site and see their crap….

Either way, IMHO today, it’s sad that in a world of endless subjects, this would be among our society’s hottest search trends; a game show question.

Oh well, how else will we ever learn what a orthocenter really is?
