Remember the disclaimer that /. has for its polls?

    This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. [...] If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.
Yeah, that one. That's very much applicable here.

If there wasn't enough data point though it'd be flat and therefore meaningless. I'm still wondering what makes it so darn seasonal...

I'd bet that the seasonality is due to the typical academic year. The searches slow down over the summer, plus drop off during the winter recess.
