We live in an age where if we're unsure of a fact, we can just Google it.

And it appears many people ask the search engine some strange questions

and rely on it to provide guidance in the event of an existential crisis,

asking 'when will I die?' and 'why are we here?'

Thousands of people ask Google if they are pregnant, whether pigs sweat

and where to hide a dead body, every month.

Thousands of people ask Google if they are pregnant, whether pigs sweat

and where to hide a dead body, every month. A sleection of the strangest popular questions is shown above

The most popular question on the pictorial chart,

created by marketing agency Digitaloft is: 'Am I pregnant?'

A staggering 90,500 women ask the search engine this question every month,

presumably hoping it can provide an answer in lieu of a pregnancy test.

The second and third most popular questions on the list are: 'How do I get home?' and 'are aliens real?'

While the first question may seem downright daft,

a box pops up allowing users in input their postcode or zipcode,

to help them with their journey, but unfortunately the search engine is not able

to beat Nasa in its quest to find alien life, which it hopes to do before 2025.
