Every year, Facebook becomes a forum for hot trending topics, and 2013 was no different. Everyone from the new Pope to the new Royal Baby got mentioned on Facebook, and even Australian actress Miranda Kerr got some Facebook love.

Yesterday, Facebook released its Top 10 Most Talked-About Topics list, and the results are nothing if not interesting.

Top 10 Most Talked About Topics in the United States

10. President Barack Obama's second inauguration

9. Nelson Mandela (pretty impressive, considering he died only a few days ago)

8. "The Royal Baby," Prince George of Windsor

7. George Zimmerman (both now with his new charges pending, and earlier in the summer when he was acquitted of killing Trayvon Martin)
