Read and article in the paper recently about 'self googling'. Basically means looking up your own name on Google and seeing what results you get.

Discovered that I have a restaurant in Memphis :approve:, breed Rough Collies down in Ayrshire, played cricket for South Australia between 1877-78 :eek: and owned a chemists shop in Pollockshaws road in the early 1900's. The real me appears in some Mini Clan related stuff.

Go on, have a go ;)

First page I get says:

"Colin Wilson is a thinker who, perhaps more so than any other writer working today, embodies the true spirit of what is called the "Renaissance man"

I am an Associate Professor of Music at Northern Kentucky University; a really bad 'artist' from Penn Yan, New York (topless Kate Moss, anyone?) and an RV (which I believe is American for caravan!) salesman employing my handsome sons, Aaron and Kirk, with the catchy strapline - 'imagine what you can see in a Gary Johnston's RV!' I think they mean 'from' rather than 'in' unless they are really into faux wood formica and orange and brown draylon!

I am also dead, and commemorated by the 'Gary Johnston Memorial Bluebonnet Tour...where Triumphs, MGs and lesser cars go on a run featuring the painted churches of Fayette County':I

I did this a few years ago, and found my name in a (fiction) book.
I E-mailed the Author in the US, and asked them why they chose my name for the character, and recieved a very nice e-mail back explaining their reasons.

I'm also Sports Person of the Year for Miami State High School (1980), and a Sous Chef in a Top New Zealand Resturant :)

I quote:

"Kind of like you had two pencils in your belly wall coming from your pelvis up to either side of your navel and they can move up and down," explained Steve Reilly, associate professor of biological sciences at Ohio University and lead author of the study.
