    Because I get really bored (and it's a security check)

    Jazintha Piper returns six hits on Google. :cry:

    Go on, you're more popular than me, I swear.

    Like Google our screen names?

    If you Google "GarmGarf", then you get about 3 pages of the forums I go to, and then like 4 pages of my name being the author of a question on one of the StarCraft II Q&As.

    Well, my real name returns 5,620,000 hits, but most of them are scripts, fansites of another person by my name, and about six other people on facebook by my name.

    But yes, any name.

    I get 50 pages for Vorak, the first appearance by me specifically is on page 3.

    I appear on the 5th page after googling the_bob.

    It seems there's a lot of people who claim to be the bob. I suppose it can't be helped, but having some bob come to the conclusion that there can be only one bob would be quite troublesome, especially if he was to come after me with a katana.

    I got six for Xiao_Caity, and they're all me. Wewt.

    There's a fuckload more for my real name, but the only reference to me is a brief mention on my dad's company's website. (Thanks dad. Really. :/ )

    Papa_dog_1999 only gets four hits.
    2 here at T-A
    1 at Anime Forum when I registered at animeWallpapers.
    1 at webshot, which I haven’t been to in several years.

    My real name gets 338,000 hits.
    Not even combing through that to find the real me, but I'm sure I'm there somewhere.

    EDIT:
    Your Dad's business isn't topiary, is it? :D

    I go 1,260,000 hits on Wobbler, but that ain't a big surprise.

    Don't think I personally would show up anytime soon though.

    "19,700 for rroyo" Not too shabby.

    It kept wanting to include listings for arroyo.... :/

    "46,300 for "Bryan Taylor" A little better.

    1,130 hits for Grakelin. All of it from me.

    Though, I admit it took me about four to five years of forum posting to do.

    232 for Grossenschwamm,
    161 for my original Grossenschwaum

    Every entry is actually related to me in some way.

    For my REAL name, though...9,070 results.
    The first is my facebook, the second is my mom's experience as a parent of a child with diabetes, the third is a news paper article featuring me as a pirate in a reenacting event in Maryland.
    Most of my results come from the common use of my first name as an adjective.

    Strange...Did you know that you get more or less hits, if you typed your name in other language version of Google?(example: Google.nl) ? I got more hits when I typed my screen name in the English version of Google. The ones that is really me are in:

    T-A, VN Boards, EN World, d20 Apocalypse in Wizards Community.

    The most un-imaginative screen-name award. Congrats.

    He really does seem to need a hug, doesn't he? *hugs Spiffy*

    I got 96,200 hits. Apparently there's a song called Silvara, as well as a small town in Pennsylvania and a type of fishing reel. And of course there's the minor character from the first Dragonlance books I originally picked the name from as well.
    Searching for my real name got 11 hits, none of them related to me. Trying only my middle name and surname (I never go by my first name) got 102 hits, again wholly unrelated to me. Yay for not being on the 'net (though if I do finally get a Facebook account that will change...)
