Tangent: it would be fun to know which responses have been repeated the most. Anybody have a script to find out such things?

Tritangent: whenever I think of these types of questions I think of Zeldar. Most recently (and similarly) I was wondering if there were enough Bakers Dozen repeat categories to make a category out of it. My best guess was Googling “repeat intitle:bakers dozen site:straightdope.com” but that relies on someone having noticed, said something, and used the word “repeat” in their reply. Likely, but far from perfect.
Also, (sorry to keep mixing threads), at the current average rate of repeats in Bakers Dozen, what would the post count have to get to to make a category of repeat-repeat categories. As in thirteen repeats are necessary for one round of “repeat categories,” another thirteen repeats is sufficient for a second round of “repeat categories” and so on. Would that be 169 repeated categories? Assuming there is an equal distribution of “name the repeat categories” threads and that there is no overlap, at what post count are we talking about?
See, I can barely figure out how to ask the question, let alone solve it. That’s why I wonder if Zeldar is thinking of answering the same question.
I also wonder if the inital term I started this tangent with is still valid…

With this many posts to wade through, I’m afraid my brute-force method would take more time and trouble than it would be worth. That’s why I was hoping somebody good with “data mining” and such could write a little script to tally the words and phrases submitted this far.
As for Handel, let’s go with
