The things you're searching for.	November 17, 1999

Misty, Mew, and Regis Too! Don't tell us: Pokemon and game shows have been on your minds lately, right? How do we know? Take a look at some of this week's fastest-rising search terms:

Misty and Mew

These two are the breakout stars of the new Pokemon movie -- so say our search logs. Misty is one of the young Pokemon trainers; Mew (who looks like Austin Powers's Mr. Bigglesworth) is the oh-so-rare 151st Pokemon. Mew's evil alter ego MewTwo is one of the movie's baddies.

Brandy

Not so misty is Brandy. The teen singer and TV star was hospitalized over the weekend with a mysterious case of "dehydration." No explanation on what might have caused the dry spell.

ToysRUs

The megastore ToysRUs has been intensely popular in November, and would surely be in the Lycos 50 this week if we included commercial enterprises. (Did we mention that our own LYCOShop has a fine selection of toys?)

Shakespeare's Posse

Bill Shakespeare has made the Lycos 50 two of the last three weeks. His creations are getting hotter, too: Hamlet, MacBeth and King Lear have all been on the rise. (So what's with all the tragedies?)

Survivor

ABC's Regis Philbin-hosted Who Wants to Be a Millionaire is a smash hit, and now the other networks are trying to dream up a Millionaire-beater. The lattest attempt at Regis-cide is CBS's Survivor, which promises to give a million bucks away to the survivor of seven weeks on a tropical island.
