Fun with Google
Let's have some fun with Google, shall we?

1) How many people have posted the blindingly obvious "Google knows everything, thus is God" idea, imagining they were the first ones to come up with it?

610

2) The browser wars.
Internet Explorer - 8,610,000
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&l...=Google+Search
Mozillla - 9,020,000
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&l...=Google+Search
Opera - 14,400,000
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&l...=Google+Search
Opera results might be skewed by the fact that it is also a theatrical form.

3) The war on terrorism
USA - 104,000,000
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&l...=Google+Search
Iraq - 20,700,000
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&l...=Google+Search
Afghanistan - 9,010,000
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&l...=Google+Search
Terrorists - 3,710,000
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&l...=Google+Search
Civil Liberties - 951,000
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&l...=Google+Search

4) Who has the word "The"?
The Onion
Finally, an important one:

"Have a nice day" - 411,000
"**** you" - 928,000

(Eh.)

let's play a game where you choose two words, and google them together, and you must get only one result.
The person who's multiplication of results of each individual word is the highest wins.

I'll start with:

'stfu' and 'Crystallography'

Okay. Final proof that George Bush is maybe not so bad at all:

"I hate George Bush": 348,000

"I love George Bush": 1,610,000

And then this:

"I eat George's Bush": 10,200
