OK, so maybe it isn’t scientific research, but when we stumbled upon Googlefight (www.googlefight.com), we may have found a polling mechanism at least as reliable as, say, a Florida electoral ballot. All you do is type in two combatants, click on the Google search engine, and the winner emerges with the most mentions found in a sweep of the ’Net. Silly time waster, or spooky barometer of public opinion and the current alignment of the universe? We report, you decide.
