Well, I just discovered www.googlism.com, and of course I typed in my own
name. The top result was

  "stephen turner is the creator of analog"

which is good. After that came

  "stephen turner is a visionary uk artist who uses elements of the natural
   world as both subject and medium"

which rather surprised me. But the reason I brought this up here is that I
also noticed

  "stephen turner is this a misprint? are you really saying that stephen
   solved this problem with only 25% of his characters being \w\s ?? that is
   genius"

and

  "stephen turner is an *evil* *evil* > man"

both of which comments people on this list might remember.


After that, I typed in Andrew's name. As I'd got over forty entries for
myself, I was surprised to get only a single entry for Andrew. It read

  "andrew savige is a very crazy man"

Enough said.
