Ok, has anyone tried searching for their own name in google? I was bored one night and put my name on it, and it actually gave me the website of my school that I designed myself. I though to myself, "Damn, this is some crazy shit!" I was really freaked out too.
Anyone, has anyone done this?

I've done it before. When I Google my username, I get pages about my music. When I Google my actual name, I get all this crap about some lawyer-like person in Utah, and a handful of pages that are actually about me.

I've done it, the results are predictable for me though. 'Cept that whole thing talking about my song "The Pointlessness of Rap".


I like making movies, music, and smoking weed. Call me crazy.

When I search my real name, I get pages about a type of Polish dance.

When I search for my real name, some famous bassist from AU keeps coming up. When I search for my username all kinds of things from NG and ebaums etc... shows up. Weird, you can find my posts through google! I also noted that you can google picture search for Tom and he shows up, but Wade doesnt!

Actually this is a true story.

My computers teacher just before the year ended, was telling us a story on how not to give out too much information over the net, and he told us a story about how a kid googled his name, and found that he was on a "missing child" list on a bunch of sites. So he contacted those people, and found out his was "adopted", and he was kidnaped when he was really little. He was then returned to his real parents..

After that day, I googled myself, but there is nothing but a bunch of Dancers, lol.

Well, apparently to Google, I'm a famous scientist that was once a grade school teacher.

I haven't seen a penny of that money yet, so I'm thinking of sueing someone.

When I search my username, I (unsurprisingly) get pages and pages of stuff about Egyptian mythology.

When I search my real name I get stuff about some female horseriding champion, and lots about dogs.

Also, I disturbingly find this.

I mean- "add to cart"? What... the hell?

Yeah, the whole concept of a dating service for women in prison kinda scares me, not to mention the fact that this woman has my first AND last name. :-/
