This one took a while to understand. Not that the question isn't interesting (heck, I've often wondered why they use this technique on cars and trucks), but why in the world would it show up in the top 100? The reason turns out to be an online sweepstakes sponsored by the FedEx Cup.

The answer might be found here, but maybe not. This is a pretty good, only moderately involved answer, while this one gets straight to the point.

My Take: Honestly, you'd think that anyone interested enough in golf to even know that the FedEx Cup exists would know the answer, but I suppose that is expecting too much, isn't it. Just hit the damn ball, will ya fellah?

My biggest question is why the related searches involve Thomas the Tank Engine and Asthmatic Kitty? Bizarro.
