Google Wars

Yesterday a friend and I invented Google Wars. It is something to do if you are completely bored, so come back and read this when you have literally nothing to do.

Wow, that only took, what, 30 seconds? Tops?

Anyway go to Google, click image search, and then type in 2 items (eg Tree Frog and Elephant). No "and" between them. Just "Item 1 Item 2." Then view the first page of results. If Item 2 has more hits than Item 1, Item 2 is the winner. If Item 1 has more hits, go back and type "Item 2 Item 1." If Item 2 now has more hits, it's a tie. If Item 1 still has more hits, Item 1 wins.

With this in mind I have created a tournament:

Elephant
Tree Frog

Tennis Balls
French Fries

Chicago Skyline
New York Skyline

Blue
Red

Round 1:
Elephant: 8
Tree Frog: 11

French Fries: 6
Tennis Balls: 8 plus this, which I link you to only because of its crazy name.

New York Skyline: 5 + 1 that's actually London
Chicago Skyline: 8

Blue vs Red: a result I should have predicted. (I originally had "iPod vs Cell Phone" as one of the entries, which should show how little thought I put into this.)

Subsequent attempts to find a replacement for Blue and Red:
Sprite vs Coke (tie)
Apple vs Orange (results showed apple-oranges)
Apple vs Banana (finally!)

Apple: 1 + 5 pictures with a banana
Banana: 9 + 5 pictures with an apple + 1 banana with "apple" written on it

Round 2:
Tennis Balls: 7
Tree Frog: 9 + 1 tree frog being eaten. By a person.

Banana: 0
Chicago Skyline: 19

Final Round
Tree Frog: 4
Chicago Skyline: 8

Congratulations, Chicago! You're more popular that pictures of tree frogs, New York, and bananas!

Also, congratulations Blogger spellcheck on not recognizing "iPod!"
