Well, let’s go with the first 20 interesting sites I got out of Google.

  1. Works for the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UCSD.

So there you have it. Hey, I make a pretty good collection, now that I think about it!

Kyla:

Sorry to disappoint you, but your first name iss not unique. I’ve met a Kyla, a Kylie and several Kyles. Kyla went to high school with me, but doesn’t have a hyphenated last name and lived in RI, I believe. So she can’t be you.

My first name is pretty normal. I am not going to do a yahoo or lycos or any other search for it.

However, a search for my last name turned up my mother’s old web page, some stuff from myself and two of my siblings, and a movie Val Kilmer appeared in about a lion hunter (hunter and kilmer are both in the page . . . ).

My internet and Biblical namesake was a prostitute with a kinky foot-washing fetish. She was known for pouring water on feet, drying them with her abundant hair, and then rubbing expensive perfumed oil into them, over and above the objections of the crowd of fundie-zealots she ran with at the time.

Culturally, she is held up as an archetype of female sexuality in contrast with Jesus’ supposedly virgin mother, Mary. See Madonna-Whore complex.

Mine was a character on “Twin Peaks”.
