Not surprisingly, if you Google my username, you get LOTS of pictures of outdated German money.

How was I supposed to know there was something called “the Euro” coming?

Unsurprisingly, I got a number of Gordon Freeman images appearing on my search.

Along with various interesting uses of crowbar.

Same issue for me.

Well I couldn’t think of a name, so I looked out the window and saw a tree that is very common in Tucson (and very uncommon most other places) called a Palo Verde. So naturally if you google the name, there are some lovely pictures of the tree (which is currently in bloom with lots of yellow flowers)

Wow, I did this, and while the first few pictures are ordinary (the Order of the Stick drawing my daughter did back in 2009, the spider pictures I took, etc.) the fourth one is a rather NSFW picture of a woman sitting with her underwear extremely exposed, from when **Quint** answered my question about what “eye-patch” means in [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=9896635). LOL … sure am glad to have my username associated with that!

I just tried it. I got a lot of pictures of people, but nobody I know. Certainly, no pictures of me.

But then I’ve tried it before. Google images never can find any pictures of me on the Internet. I don’t think there are any.
