Title: What does Google's search bar say about you?

Inspired by this entry (http://theoatmeal.com/blog/matthew_inman_gay) from The Oatmeal (http://theoatmeal.com/), I decided to see what would come up when I typed my name in the search bar at Google without clicking Search.  The result?  "crash course".  It isn't even someone with the same name.  I have no idea what it means.

What is the first thing Google says about you?

Not a damn thing actually. The only thing that pops up is just my name.  :bawl:

You oughta feel honored, Chris.

What pops up is an alternate spelling of my first name and my last name, of course. And the first 8-10 entries reflect that alternate spelling. My stuff doesn't show up for awhile.  :rotf:

The first thing I got for your name was 'Myspace'.

Chris XXXXX: About 3,610,000 results.  Awesome.

Nothing comes up for me either.  Not that common of a name and thankfully I haven't been tagged with anything too bad.

I got 17,800,000. :)

The only thing that came up under my name was some football and baseball stuff from some kid.

What comes up for my middle names is far, far more awesome. I won't post it though...

Artist, Dentist, Prosecutor, Judge, and massage therapist with my name (on the first page).  My name is not particularly unique  :rotf:

There are apparently 479 people with my name in the US

Wait what? How does my username come into this? I thought I was supposed to search my actual name...I'm confused...

And my username was meant to be :-)

Back in 2003 I needed a username for an account I was making and I looked around my computer desk for inspiration. The Win XP sticker was beside the Compaq one and well...it stuck. And no I'm not joking, that's how it came to be.

I have a sticker on mine that says, "Idiot Inside" in what looks like the Intel logo.

I'm safe.

Only 106,000 results on a search of my name.

And the top fourteen pages at least, none of it's me.

<<hard person to find.

Everything on the first page is wrong, except for my mom's death notice. I won't bother to look any more.

Mine goes to my facebook, then my twitter.

Apparently, I am the only person in the US with my name.
