It appears I'm a not very good pro baseball player (googling your real name)

My last name is shared by only five other living human beings. Horribly boring, I know.

I was a farmer in Pennsylvania in the mid 1800’s, survived the Titanic, died in WWI, and am wanted for Aggrevated Robbery. I’m apparently armed and dangerous, too! Do not attempt to apprehend me yourself.

I’m an actress from some very lame 1980s horror movies. Who also happens to have a number of naked pictures of herself available on the internet.

For some reason, a lot of people out there think they are going to be the first one to point this out to me :rolleyes:

How interesting. I’m a famous organist at Hyde Park Methodist Church. I’m also a Tanzanian college online forum moderator, a member of the Korean Students Association at MIT, and a famous fashion designer-instructor at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising…

I rest my case, Mom. Not one of them is a doctor.

I think I’ve posted this before…

Googling my name, I find this page. The first name in the title is my first name. The last name in the title is my last name. There are many, many more pages about this.

Intensely bizarre.

I am the parent of a child with an eating disorder.

Must of had a kid while I was sleeping.

There ain’t no me but me. There’s only ever been 15 people with my last name on the planet. Although there is a news article out there about a guy who was executed for murder; one of the witnesses has a name not entirely unlike mine which, due to a typo, comes up when Googling.

A Google search turns up a professor in Ulster (who apparently wrote and co-wrote a bunch of textbooks) and a teacher at Wellington Girls’ College who won a fellowship. Neat! :cool:

Apparently I’m:

A clergyman in Canada

Some guy in England who’s advocating some other treatment besides LASIK-type surgery

An Author and Historian with a Ph.D. (as am I, but this is someone else)

Much to my annoyance, I am a fundie sort of evangelist preacher. Strangely , though somehow seem also to be linked to a German porn site.

Strange world!

I am me. Awesome speech and debate champion and master of the constitution (mwahahaha)… sorry. But yeah, the real me is all that comes up.

I’m a whole slew of junior varsity gymnasts & track stars, but what is most scary is that I’m the star of a piece of crime fiction – the star victim, that is.

And they describe the victim as being my height, my weight, with my hair colour, my eye colour, and my complexion, the same age as me, and with the same major I had in University when I attended back in the US. Either somebody’s got a grudge against me, or this is a very bizarre coincidence …

I seem to be a cop-turned-lawyer in Indianapolis, a grain salesman in Iowa, a programmer in Alabama, a Muslim convert turned imam in Ohio, a couple of high school athletes also in Ohio, and, Google refreshingly confirms, myself.

There’s a relatively-newbie Doper with a screen name very similar to my real name, which isn’t all that common. It gives me a start whenever I see one of his/her posts, until I realize I didn’t say whatever that is.

I am a few different singers, a high school soccer player, and some public officials. Rosie O’Donnell’s girlfriend comes up in a search for my name often too. I also seem to be pants.

Apparently, I am a world-famous club DJ who’s lived and worked all over Europe and the U.S. I currently reside in Amsterdam, where I have my own recording studio.

This other guy’s life seems much more interesting than mine. . .

A paltry 120 entries indicates that I’ve just obtained a PhD in sociolinguistics (not quite true on either count - currently doing the revisions, and it’s critical discourse analysis), play cricket for a team called Crusaders, wrote and published an entire book, Web of Deceit, about my “inability to get on with anyone at Hong Kong University”, and another book called Piccolo, the Monster Cat, wrote a letter to the Editor about allophonic variation in Cantonese, wrote a paper about the ‘over-working’ of witness statements in civil cases, and in particular the extent to which this phenomenon is the work of lawyers (heaven forbid!) and to what extent it is the work of the witnesses themselves, and a submission to the Hong Kong working party on Civil Justice Reform.

Golly! I didn’t know I’d been such a busy bee.
