    Has anyone tried this? It's the new 'google your name' craze that will help you spend 15 seconds of your life in a totally wasteful endeavour!

    You type your name into wikipedia and see what wikipedia chooses as the most relevant entries for your name. Some of the wiki entries returned can be a bit odd.

    Entries for my name include: (bit worried that Fair City is considered relevant :eek: )

    The number one choice for me was: The Irish Naval Service - 100%. I think that's because a navy ship is called my first name. The second was Tir Na nOg - 99%. I wonder if you can guess my name!

    My boards name comes up with list of punjabi films 100% and Harbhajan Mann - whoever he/she is!

    This was fun!


    Grainne, eh? ;)

    Mine goes directly to a page on a person with the same name. I'd rather not say who. Its a household name in Ireland and the UK.

    Do you use quotes or not?

    If I use quotes then the first link is to something that lists something I wrote in the "External Links" section, and the second references someone with the same name as me who I've encountered before (after receiving mail intended for him).
