What do you make of this?

So I was doing a google search on tidal bore surfing in Pennsylvania, and I came across this page as the top result.

http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~felipe/...ta/frequence.e

This was the search I used.

"Nackawic on the Saint John River, upstream from Fredericton New Britain Township, PA tidal bore surf"

Looks like some type of word tracking data. Like the number of occurrences of certain words. Maybe on the website or something. If you look at the end of the list the occurrences of words go way down to 1. The words that occurred once make sense, some are mis-spellings and some are just odd words. That would be my guess. Weird though.

This page explains the purpose of this data.

Now go learn french and infuse yourself with knowledge !

edit : It's basically raw data for a small university work on linguistics, these are keywords from papers published by professors of UdeM

re-edit : http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~felipe/index-f.html
And that's the guy you should call tonight to complain about messing with your brain today !

Hmm ... since the format of the question implies A), I can't resist the urge to create a paradox by answering B).

Carrots is out of question, something would likely implode.

There's 52 instances of "Carrot", according to the data.
