Last week, I heard an offbeat news story that a site exists which will tell you what the search engine Google thinks of you, called Googlism.com.
Unlike Google, Googlism does not specifically say where you yourself are mentioned on the internet, but it tells you what other people sharing your name are known for doing. Some claims are believable, some are outrageous, and yet funny at the same time.
To wit, yours truly can claim to be:
* awake
* a singer (ha!)
* an assistant professor of geology
* is #408
* is progressing nicely (why, thank you!)
My Dad can claim to be:
* an unknown commodity
* a rare breed
* displayed for all to see
* compiling an encyclopedia of all data pertaining to the Loch Ness Monster
My stepmom can claim to be:
* a grade three math teacher
* chairperson of the "millenium millions appeal"
My roommate Steve can claim to be:
* a man worth laughing at (and believe me, we do!)
Last for today, my cousin Mike can claim to be:
* a yuppie lawyer
* not expected to act before the election
There are other options you can use on the Googlism site. For some laughs, check it out. Also, I'll be adding additional links to the right-hand column in the next couple days.
