Time Magazine published a nice article by Bill Tancer (of Hitwise fame) talking about the top 10000 keywords searched for that contain the word 'free' like [free games] or [free myspace layouts]. The analysis is very interesting for anyone into keyword research but amusingly, he found that no one is searching for [free lunch].

It's not long, and well worth a read.
