Oh yes, I’m a Professor of Spanish, Geology and Biology on two continents at the same time, electrical engineer, multiple prize-winner and polymath web contributor :).
Apparently I died peacefully at home in Canada too :(.
I’m either me, as evidenced by a link to the SDPP and some posts I made to a Spenser newsgroup, or I’m a dominatrix at a porn site. If I use my real name, I’m a Cherokee Indian activist.

Only fun if there’s someone else with your name. According to one of the geneology companies, there are only 1,600 people in the world with my last name, and none of them share my first name. So every hit really is me. Odd though, finding links to poetry that was published in my university’s newspaper four years ago…
In addition to the hits that are actually me, I learn that I:
Work for the Advanced Highway Maintenance and Construction Technology Research Center.
I was born around 1807 (probably in Lincoln County, North Carolina) and died in 1860.
I was also born in 1835.
I was also born on March 15, 1843, in Germantown, PA.
I was part of the National Lutheran Academy’s class of 1960.
I was also born on February 8, 1829, in York County, South Carolina and died March 5, 1905 in Morgan County, Alabama. I am buried in Decatur City Cemetery. When my father died, I was living in Mississippi. I also bought two parcels of land on December 18, 1854, somewhere in Alabama. Total acreage: 121.32. I had six children (Mary Alice, Martha, Sue Ellen, Polly, Alexander, William, and Mamie) spread over two wives.
I am a big fan of The Lion King.
I would like to apologize for naming any child “Mamie”.
I’m a high school cross country runner in the state of Illinois. I run a 2.5-mile race in 19-20 minutes.
Sadly, that is me. No one else has my name.
Well, I’m the spokeswoman for a Hunger Task Force, an artist, a high school softball player (outfielder) and an instructional aide at a grade school. None of which are me.
What got really interesting is when I did a Dogpile search on “Polycarp” – in addition to dozens of references to the saint and one to cooking (I haven’t figured that one out yet), I found out it’s a band in Durham (Brian, why didn’t you tell me?) and there’s even a porn link. (Stoid!?!? You’ve got some explaining to do! :D)
I died in 1968 and was buried in Washburn County, Wisconsin! :eek:
At least I lived a long life. I was 76 when I fell of the twig.
ummm, make that off the twig.
carry on. . . .
I searched on my real name, and found out I’m a ten year old girl who is good at ice skating.
When I put my name into google, the very first hit had a catscan of my brain. Weird.
What’s even weirder is why a guy in Harrisville, UT would want season tickets to for the Green Bay Packers.
Apparently, I’ve done the following:
[ul]
-
Authored a book about writing book proposals.
-
I did something in Germany, but I can’t understand what it was.
-
I became (in)famous for learning the system and breaking the bank on a game show called Press Your Luck.
-
I’m a Danish author as well.
-
I’m somehow involved in mathematics and “The Problem of Kings”.

Be sure to check here to see what you look like.
Try it again. A lot of Google returns that are not in English have a “translate” option where you can see the page re-written in English.
(It didn’t help me, of course. I had no desire to track down the 25,000 hits associated with my name since the first six pages were all in German. Of course, Tom (Thomas) is hardly a rare name and my Mom once had a German immigrant boss who told her that “B~ in Vestvalia iss like bebbles on t’e peach.”
I wrote a book entitled “Last of the Market Hunters.”
It’s all about my career as a duck poacher in Illinois back in the '30s and '40s.
I’m a tennis player.
And a Pentagon correspondent.
And I get 2,170,000 hits using my real name…
My real name (which is really uncommon) gets some bizarre, cheezy, hypnotist/mentalist/motivational speaker.
Also a doctor, a dentist, a teacher in California and a school board member in Tennessee.
And I - the real me - get numerous hits on a google search. Which gives me a nice, temporary, false sense of being important.
I tried that, and got a picture of FDR meeting Winston Churchill. Wonder which one is me.
I got 0 hits of my real name. My username comes up in about 10 different non english languages. To quote one
According to google, I am a college sophmore at Dickinson College who is on the women’s tennis team.
OMG too funny!
I am the benefactor of a $1000.00 Natural Sciences scholar ship.
I work for an internet company and also have my own web design consulting company.
AND, I was Hootergirl of the month at a Hooters in Missouri.
All in all, I’m a pretty well rounded gal, dontcha think?
