A few things about their algo: it’s case-insensitive and order-insensitive. And it doesn’t care which of the two blanks a character’s in, so long as something’s in each blank.

For instance, **Lucretia** and **Bluesman** score a sizzling 96 (always knew Bluesman was a lucky guy! :)), and so do ‘lutrecaIblues’ and ‘mna’.

Also there’s no randomizer there: trying the same character strings twice will net the same result. So **Beija** has evidently changed something between tries. And a space, even a concluding space, counts as a character, as **Pablito** ’s post indicates.

For instance, me and my wife:  
First names only: 27  
First and last names: 58  
Deleting the last names, but leaving the space in between: 91

Me and Susan Sarandon: 44  
Me and bondage porn star Whitney Prescott: 94

Sarah McLaughlin and I are a 72. That’s a low estimate, I know it would be at least a 90. It is in my mind, anyway.

</div>

Me and Jazzmine: 0. I kid you not. Stay away from me, you evil bitch.  
Me and MsRobyn: 7  
Me and Guinistasia: 10  
Me and K.C. Suze: 14  
Me and Twickster: 19  
Me and a pint of Haagen Daas: 20 (but hey, I don’t like HaagenDaas, plus I’m diabetic)  
Me and Halle Berry: 24 (Ok, yeah, this thing’s broken)  
Me and NinetyWt: 26  
Me and David Hassellhoff: 32 (hey, at least you KNOW he sucks)  
Me and Cecil: 44  
Me and Nurse Carmen: also 44. But if it’s a threesome, we’d be 88.  
Me and Scott Evil: 48  
Me and Carrot Top: 49 (someone kill me now)  
Me and John Stamos: 52 (No, seriously… someone kill me now)  
Me and a pint of Ben and Jerry’s: 54 (screw the diabetes, some things are worth dying for)  
Me and Satisfying Andy Licious: 55  
Me and Alvin and the Chipmunks: also 55 … rodents need not apply  
Me and Gazelle: 70  
Me and Zenham: 74 (proving that well, it’s **not** my fault)  
Me and TubaDiva: 77  
Me and Scylla: 79  
Me and Welby: also 79 (thus proving my theory that Scylla and Welby are the same person)  
Me and Myself: 87. This just goes to prove that I’m a stud… but I kind of wonder why I scored less using my own name. Oh yeah, it’s because when I call out my own name during sex, it’s kind of distracting.
