I recently entered the name of an old business colleague into Google, in an attempt to renew contact with her. I was amazed at the number of results with her name, and others who shared it. We have subsequently spoken and agreed to meet up.

Being of an enquiring mind, I then entered my own name, and was again very surprised at the number of results. I am apparently a highly reputed lecturer at Cambridge Uni, among other things! I also found the real me on other websites !!
A bit spook actually.

Give it a go for a bit of fun - you might find out things about yourself which you didn't know. Let us know if you get any spectacular results.

You are right, I tried it a while back and got some very interesting results - including references to myself/my boat on web sites I never knew off.

just tried it - what a hoot! Amongst other things, a US warship bearing my name was scuttled during the American Civil War to block the James River (near Richmond I think)

Is this an omen?......

I just tried this and found that I was listed as one of 170 contributors to the Thrust SSC speed record, together with my 3 godsons. Forgotten all about that - I stuck some money in the pot for each of them when Richard Noble was running out of dosh.

Reckon he owes me!

Apart from that, I found an impostor who's the president of a US bank.

Yes, tried it some time ago! Just goes to show that we can't hide in our little cocoons.

I'm the CEO of a dodgy-sounding finance company operating in Salt Lake City.

I recently posted "I think u r all gay and lick each others ****. u r all crazy and every1 shud stay away from u. I want all the scallys to cum round and kick the **** out of u all, except for the **** ladies who i wud like to ****." as a reply on a website, only not with the *'s. And you thought we did offensive postings here?

SWMBO doesn't show up at all --- how did she manage that?

My boss is a mass murderer, but I'd guessed that already.
 
For me the surprise was not finding that there is an American Microlight Aircraft expert who shares my name, but that posts that I made years ago on a photographic forum popped up. But only a few of them.

Deeply weird.

Well, depending on where you look, I've got a Phd, Play the guitar, fiddle, melodeon and sing. If anyone has ever heard me sing, they will know that there is not a lot of truth in any of this.

Wouldn't mind a Phd, though

I am a poet, born at sea, and presently a deep sea shark fisher who is an accomplished speaker, jazz critic and 6'4" and 180lbs. Apparently, in between times, I played cricket (God forbid...) for New Zealand.

As far as the dimensions are concerned, one is closer to the truth than the other - clue - my doctor thinks I'm not tall enough.

Confirms what I thought - I am the only person of my name on the planet.

One reason I choose to post using a pseudonym!

Apparently I'm dead. Died about 150 years ago, so that explains a lot!

I think that my most interesting result was as a "Buck Rabbit" with a vast number of progeny. Most pleasurably productive anyway!
 
Erm ... seem to be very popular - 638 'hits' for Donald Beaton.

Not one of them mine. Shame really.

Re: I\'m dead
