If you set the time line filter correctly you'll see it is getting deader by the year.
That's not really true - this is mostly a reflection of there being more and more internet content every year. For example [foo bar] appears to be growing just as much in popularity.

On a related note, I've been growing in popularity at a similar rate.
I thought people knew it. People have been killing since the day it was popular.
This is just like procrastination. You say that it's dead and don't want to use it, "but then what the heck just one last project"
I did not know about this feature. This will come in handy.

Looks like it has been dead since 1997, and was most dead in 2003, but not by a whole lot.
