Q. I am trying to find someone that owes me money to get them served, in Houston, Tx. Anyone got any suggestions?
A. What I recommend first, because it is free, is to search Google with the personal information you have about them. For example, their full name, their former address (street and number), their old telephone number, and any thing else that you think is personally identifiable.
You can also go to Yahoo's person finder to see if anything pops up. There might be a pay sight offering to help find the person.
If you know the county they used to live in, you can search for them through your county's clerk of courts web sites. Usually, you'll have a municipal and common pleas clerks. You might be able to find similar info if they owe money or are otherswise sought by the police on the police web site. You can do the same thing with property ownership records.
You can also call their parent(s) and make up a story about needing to talk to them.
Finally, if all else fails, you can contact an attorney who specializes in debt collection and ask them to do a Lexis-Nexis database search. This might cost a couple hundred dollars, and might be worth it depending on the dollar amount.

What are the the statistics for the most quoted phrase in the english language?
Q. a friend would like to know what the statistics are for the most quoted phrase in the english language...do you get what i mean?
A. The frequencies shown are based on Google searches for the exact phrase shown except where a few of the frequencies are summed from a combination of variations and indicated by a slash character.
These results are not at all based on whether the citation referred to the source of the phrase or quote.
Many of phrases searched for are incomplete as the beginnings and endings of the phrases are often variable.
Except with the word "babes," all searches used Google's "Use strict filtering" mode.
Many of these phrases are considered proverbial or as a cliche, but nearly all are traceable to an original publication, an adaptation of an original publication, an author or notable person who popularized the phrase.
