I must be more easily distracted than you (oh look, new shiny object) because your examples seem pretty interesting to me. I think research often develops out of playful curiosity, and the playful aspects of Ngram are precisely why I find it interesting. On the other hand, I agree with you that it's hard to find anything really surprising or unexpected in there. Perhaps I'm just not looking hard enough.
