Fight fight fight!

Top search index, Google often adds quirky new elements to its site, witches on Halloween, Stars and Stripes on the 4th of July but a new site has popped up that's nothing to do with Google but offers to let you do a Googlefight for keywords.

Sounds fun but all it actually does is compare the quantity of sites showing up under two search terms.

The domain googlefight.com was registered to a Frenchman 2 weeks ago. Whereas Google has a section that says 'I'm feeling lucky', this one says 'I'm feeling Groggy'.

We pitched 'Osama Bin Laden' against 'George W Bush' and it turns out that George wins with 1 million, 720 thousand sites about, or mentioning him while Mr Bin Laden trails with just 729 thousand.
