Most of the links go go various parts of my various pages, or people who link to my pages, but here are some others I found amusing: I came up with this site from Google… [http://www.teamone.de/selfhtml/sfarchiv/1999\_2/t03852.htm](http://www.teamone.de/selfhtml/sfarchiv/1999_2/t03852.htm) which is apparently German people talking about me but I can’t read it.

Well, a search on Google for Sublight brought up a slew of crackpot invention pages and Star Wars fan pages. –sublight. ---

The fact that my name showed up on Google sixty-three times is more a statement on the spelling skills of people posting information on choirs than it is on my popularity. ---

Searching on “brunetter” brings up a whole slew of swedish porn, and one page of really nasty jokes called “revenge of the blondes”. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Brunetter \* > **Searching on “brunetter” brings up a whole slew of swedish porn** Well now that’s nice to know. A search of Crunchy Frog on google came up with over 4,000 sites. Most of the ones I noticed were Monty Python related. I was impressed to find a Crunchy Frog Enterprises though. I had no idea I was a businessman too. ---

GuanoLad is a unique name. The only time it picks up a page that isn’t me, it’s in Spanish. If you were to use my real name, you’d get either me, my brother, or some of my ancestors. It’s a unique name too, but with a local history to it. ---

Apart from what I’d expect, searching for “St. Attila” in google got me a link to a brewery and some kind of sci-fi story. ---

Huh… **Gundhilde** on Google brought up something called [Feed Barley for Rangeland Cattle: The Project](http://hordeum.msu.montana.edu/cowdocs/cowindex.html), along with the Teeming Millions Birthdays page and a lot of pages entirely in German. For the first one, all I have to say is “Guh?” ---

Hmm, I found three references to **willgolfforfood** , all of which were member/user names on various web sites, none of which were me. (You wouldn’t think that four people would independently think up a username that dumb, but people are amazing…) ---

Apparently, Edwardina is an actual name. I thought I was making it up. My first hit on Google was a site that gave information on the meaning, etc. of names. I guess it’s supposed to be a baby name site. I was so shocked by what it said about ‘Edwardina’: “_The name of Edwardina gives you a clever, quick, analytical mind, but you suffer with a great deal of self-consciousness, lack of confidence, and much aloneness because of misunderstandings. Your idealistic and sensitive nature gives you a deep appreciation for the finer things of life and a strong desire to be of service to humanity. There are times when you experience inner turbulence at your inability to say what you mean. It is far easier for you to express your deeper thoughts and feelings through writing than verbally. You find pleasure in literature, in poetry, and in your ideals and will turn to them when you feel you have been misunderstood. You are deeply moved by the beauties of life, especially nature. Because your feelings run deep, you must guard against the ups and downs, being very inspired one minute, then moody, reserved, and depressed the next. Your reactions to people vary according to how you feel. You tend to be secretive and noncommittal about private matters, yet at times you will talk effusively in order to hide your self-consciousness or to lead others away from personal subjects. You are inspired by encouragement from others, yet suspicious of their intent. You crave affection but seldom find anyone who understands your nature. Physical weaknesses would show in your heart, lungs, or bronchial organs._” I think I have to go take my antibiotics for this bronchial infection I’ve got, please excuse me . . . ---
