I got wikipedia.org, en.wikipedia.org, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia and news for wikipedia. That's when I was searching Google.com. When I searched Google.com.br, I got wikipedia.pt first (my Lady Gaga and Glee were Brasil, Discussão and Muammar Al-Gaddafi). After that, the results were wikipedia.org, en.wikipedia.org and news for wikipedia [in portuguese].

The OP is by the CTO of Etsy.
Apparently he was creeped out because clearly Google Chrome -- his "user agent" lol -- decided to "note" that he had another tab open and sent that information along with the search query to Google Inc. "If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place." -- Fair warning by Google Inc. CEO 2001-2011, Executive Chairman 2011-

I suspect that's because those are the pages with the most traffic on Wikipedia.
If true, that would say more about society than Google. As I recall, there is more Wikipedia text on the Twilight universe than William Shakespeare wrote in his entire life.
