I share a name with a (rather crappy) screenwriter, so if I google my name all that comes up his him.

I've got a rare last name (rare enough that we've yet to find anyone with it who isn't related to us) and I google my name all the time. I recently found an interview I forgot I gave from when I did this weird little online web camp for kids years back.

My great uncle is a world-renowned optometrist, so I end up getting a lot of stuff about him, it's kind of interesteing to read his papers. All over my head, of course

When I get *real bored* I'll google my friends up, but a lot of them have really common names, so it's not much fun.

Nothing interesting came up for me but for my g/f's first and last name I found the guest book of a Elementry School she must've filled out when she was just a child - she's exactly the same now except now she has better grammar skills.

manic is going to regret ever crossing the mangler after this matchup
manic is not crazy or an maniac i think that he is just confused
manic is to help young canadians to become international drivers and this at the smallest expense possible
manic is perhaps the best way to describe its madcap mix of street racing and avoidance gameplay
manic is intended to fill that void for thousands of skaters
manic is thwarted because thwarted implies impediment to interest
manic is all about? and i thought these guys had heard everything
manic is here <manic> *ggg* <theboyhitscarsfans> put your ass on the webcam

Those were the most interesting - Googlism

Everything using my first and last name comes up as me - -mostly on Geneology Research sites... My last name is a restaurant in New Market, Maryland (and I want a menu or something from that place) my last name isn't unusual , but the spelling of it is.

There's also a furniture store in Pa, 4 of them infact - I wonder if I could get a discount...

and a funeral home in Wilmington Delaware... But none of them are related...

all of the time. i am the worst internet stalker on earth, if i've known you in the past and you have a semi-unique name i will have googled you. i find it insanely fascinating -- and it's fun in that "i'm so bad but not really that bad" sort of way. i google all of my ex-boyfriends at least once a year.
/end i am a complete freak.

I google people all the time if I want or need to know something about them. Like everything else on the net you have to verify your sources. I sometimes use google images to check and see if it's the right person. This mild idiocy helps me keep track of people fom other lives and occupations. It's just fun.

I could not bear to look! My name is Michael Moore...... and I am not the slovenly jerk that is getting all the press right now. To make matters even worse, I also worked on some documentary films at one time.

I have a fairly rare name, so it was cool to learn that a dude with my name is currently working for the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute.

I've googled for myself a couple of times, mainly mailing lists and high school stuff though. No newspaper articles, etc.

Sigh, lack of fame is a b****

I'm a school teacher and I've often googled my students parents names. Some interesting stuff has come up. More often than once, a criminal record has come up!

All I have is a college that shares my last name!

I checked out my name, and while a couple were actually me, Most of them are of an actor who has been on Broadway and once guest stared on MASH. I never thought that someone would share the same name as me, but I have found 2 of them now. The actor is one, the other has a long criminal record in the state of Wisconsin.

I'm a collegiate hockey player, accountant, tuba player. Which is cool because I do play hockey (though not in school), and I play the tuba (though the only tuba player was infact me)

I found out that I was:

A Biology teacher in Hawaii,
a few other random references in geneologies that were not me,

and a page that contains two pictures I rendered in Bryce 3D back in 2000-2001 and submited to the fan art section of the web site Ganon's Tower.
