How to kiss? - Online questions in English and Chinese

Kissing instructions by Boingboing

China's blogger Keso compared the most important "How to" and "What is" questions on the internet in both English and Chinese. Here translated by China Digital Times.
It is really hysterically funny.
"What is a mutual fund", scores the first place in China, while "What is love" is one at the English. The love questions does appear in the Chinese top-10 on place six, but otherwise it is mostly 3G and none of the ones from the English list are on the Chinese one.
One the "How to" top-10 Chinese want to know how to lose weight, while in English the question on "how to kiss" is most asked. Kissing gets a poor ninth place in Chinese.
Keso compared searches at both Google and Baidu, the largest search engines in respectively English and Chinese.
