[release]A mysterious search query has got web users in a tizzy after it inexplicably popped up in Google's fastest rising search queries and has remained there for the past month. The term "na pohybel janas" has been the seventh fastest-rising search query on Google by Australians over the past 30 days, behind terms such as "cyclone yasi", "australian open", "biggest loser" and "egypt". It even sits above "big day out", according to Google Insights for Search. But it's not just Australians who are searching the mystery term - worldwide it is the sixth fastest rising term over the past month and the phrase also appears on the list for virtually every region examined by this website, including India, the US and Britain. Advertisement: Story continues below Some web users noticed the trending term and in online forums have speculated that it is a terrorist plot or related to a malicious virus. Others have noticed it pop up in their web history when they have no recollection of ever searching it. "I have recently noticed a recurring search in my web history and have no recollection of searching it," wrote one user on Google's help forum. "'Na pohybel janas' has been searched several times on my computer in pairs at times when I know I've been on my computer with my husband watching various shows on the internet." Using online translation tools reveals that, in Polish, the term means "Death to Janas". Janas is a Polish and Czech name, and it is also believed to be a term of endearment. "I found that Janas is a female name that in Czechoslovakian, Polish, and Dutch means 'God's Gracious Gift' and in Arabic it means 'Harvest of Fruit'," wrote one blogger who investigated the mystery. Combining the Polish meaning of Janas with the Polish translation of the phrase gives the literal translation "Death to God's gracious gift". Combing YouTube for the term throws up a video of a Slavic rock band singing a song called Na Pohybel Janas. But none of this explains the rising popularity of the term, particularly in a country such as Australia. A Google Australia spokeswoman refused to comment on the search term, but noted that a "fastest rising" term was not the same as most popular. "This term may not have been a top search overall - its appearance on the 'fastest rising' list just indicates that it saw much more query volume in the last 30 days than it did in the 30 days before that," the spokeswoman said. Perhaps the mystery will never be solved, as it appears searches for the term have flatlined over the past week.

Or perhaps it doesn't mean anything at all, and it's just a bunch of people dicking around?
The return of the Old Ones is upon us.
This is the work of Inglip.
I bet the guys searching it were all like "Well, why the fuck not?"
Snowball effect is what it seems like, people wondering about what the hell it means will search for it and spread the word, making more people who don't have a clue repeat the process, and so on.
whatever the explanation is, its not going to be as awesome as what I'm imagining it could be.
