I know your post was said in jest, but bing is ranked #22 on Alexa and #10 in the US. (http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/bing.com) and gets over 17% of search marketshare.

The top sites, if people are curious: http://www.alexa.com/topsites

I think it ranks highly for the same reason that MSN.com used to rank highly (I think MSN was even the number 1 site for a time); I.E., It has nothing to do with actual hard-earned popularity, and everything to do with default settings in IE.

Bing is also the search engine for popular sites such as Yahoo and Facebook and the default search engine for Siri.
