I google myself to see how long it takes to find some of the articles I have published.

I have a common name (well, not anymore; but pre-1950 it was common and some famous people have it) and I'm reluctant to sift through the 10,000,000+ results.

entering my name brought me to a people finder website, which in turn brought me to a few long lost friends that were looking for me! thanks OP!

I googled myself a few weeks ago, only to find that there is some guy with my exact name (middle initial included!) with a PhD from MIT. At least SOMEONE with my name has some talent :)

Heh, the first hit for my name was also a doctor. He even has the same middle initial. Apparently he graduated from Harvard.

I was kind of disturbed when I looked myself up.

Apparently, I am a gay porn star and a baptist minister in Tennesse. :Q
