The Board Trumps All

After thinking long and hard about how wonderful the Board is, and reading a few Board Questions about Googlefight, I thought I would pit two mighty dragons against each other. Google itself vs. The almighty Board. In the one corner we have Google with 9,378 employees, and a net income of $1.47 billion, receiving 1 Billion search requests daily ("I wonder how many of those queries are Board writers researching questions?" -Yellow). In the other corner we have the Board ("a student service organization of anonymous writers who attempt to answer any question set to them within 100 hours. It's fun and informative, and slightly addicting."-Uffish Thought), that has approximately thirty employees (volunteers) , about 1,100 hits per day, and no financial compensation (only cookies:-). The observers to this fight seemed certain of the demise of the Board, but even the Google giant was unable to hold its ground against the power contained within the 100 Hour Board. Now when people tell me that Google is taking over the world I can tell them "ah-ah-ah that is not true, in reality the Board is taking over Google!"
