Well, THAT was a trip. When I read your post, it was at the bottom of my screen, and the “romulus -trek” was below the fold. My thoughts were:  
“Well, Remus probably beat Romulus because of the Uncle Remus stories. Oh, but Romulus benefitted from the Star Trek show.”

Then I hit “page down”. Way cool.

Hmm. To be fair to Chevy fans, shouldn’t “Chevy Truck” results be added to the “Chevrolet Truck” number?  
I don’t think “Ford” has a nickname.

Am I the only one who can’t access the site? If I try something the site comes back with “too much fights”.

Apparently, **Cleophus** , the site has also taught you too much double-clicking.

Of course, if you search for “york -new” Lancaster takes it, 2,490,000 to 1,370,000.

Beer: 7,500,000  
Cough syrup: 54,100

Productivity: 4,540,000  
Procrastination: 221,000

Lewis Carroll: 528,000  
W.S. Gilbert: 96,100

And, as I’ve been doing research lately on Shakespeare’s histories, here’s an eight-way slugfest! Eight kings come in, but only one comes out!

Richard II: 2,620,000  
Henry IV: 987,000  
Henry V: 2,470,000  
Henry VI: 791,000  
Edward IV: 790,000  
Edward V: 2,200,000  
Richard III: 2,020,000  
Henry VII: 451,000

And Richard II reclaims the crown in a surprising upset! 😃
