Indecisive? Commit your ways to Google.
I guess I missed this on its first time around, but Google Battle might just be too much fun.
Can you imagine the possibilities? If you're in an online debate and you need to whip out cold, hard statistics...
Presbyterian or Baptist?
North or South?
Apples or oranges?
If you're trying to make tough decisions...
Spaghetti or lasagna for dinner?
Red dress or black dress for your date?
Law or medicine as a career path?
Or if you want to see how your alma mater stacks up against old rivals.
Covenant College or Bryan College?
Covenant College or Milligan College?
Covenant College or Wheaton College?
Sweet are the wonders of the decontextualized popularity statistic.

I will duly look forward to spaghetti tonight then, dear.
What's up with Wheaton, only 1,090,000 references? Reed College has 8x that. Guess those Wheaties don't like to talk about their school.
And, for the record, I win: http://www.googlebattle.com/index.php?domain=Noel+Weichbrodt&domain2=Elissa+Weichbrodt&submit=Go%21

Yes, but I win when it comes down to marital position.

Silly non-debaters, unlearned in the ways of the Google Proletariat Debate Research Tool. Don't forget to put queries of more than one word in quotation marks. ;)
Unfortunately, while halving Noel's popularity, it also leaves the dear wife with zero. Dear husband must fix this.

May I point out to my dear wife, though, that her hollow victory is humbled by the very syntax used to claim it, eg, "http://www.googlebattle.com/index.php?domain=husband&domain2=wife&submit=Go%21"
Clearly, from this, the husband has domain and the wife submits. QED.

Clearly from this we can deduce that Google Battle holds a high view of male headship in marriage and is probably Presbyterian.
