There are many age old questions that, even today, new generations continue to demand answers to. Questions like “Who would win in a fight between Superman and Spiderman?“, and “Could Bruce Lee beat Jet Li in a Kung Fu battle royale?“.

Well, thanks to Google Fight, we now have the answers.

I was surprised by the results of the first battle, but not the second. But Google Fight has spoken. The judge’s decision is final.

Basically, Google Fight looks at the total number of articles that a search of Google on your first “combatant” receives versus the second. He/She/It with the most articles wins.

For those who know their behind the scenes Kung Fu movie history, “Bruce Lee versus Sammo Hung” may be of interest (and I’m not talking about their film encounters).

Sometimes I question my own sanity – and it seems for good reason.

How about some local politics? “John Howard versus Kevin Rudd“. That’s a sad outcome – let’s hope that doesn’t reflect reality.  And here’s something for my US readers. :)

But you can also pick a fight between non-living entities. “Nintendo Wii versus Microsoft XBox 360“, for example.

Apparently my little sister continues to beat me in a fight, years after the last time she gave me a fat lip. Good times…good times…
