Space Monkeys
« on: October 13, 2003, 11:38:14 PM »
I was thinking the other day about the space race, and what it meant to the country. Which led me to this line of thought, why did America send up Chimps, while the Soviets sent up Border Collies. Chimps seems like a more obvious choice, especially given their similarities with humans physiologically and genetically. But Dog? Hmmm. Thoughts, comments... leave em at the beep.

Actually, I have no idea. I'll have to do some research. I thought I had an answer for this, but right now my mind is at a blank. Kind of like google when you search for SaintEhlers.

Any of you tried doing a Google search on your name, just to see where in the ranking you show up?

I was surprised--I've recently moved up.  I used to be #4, but now I'm #2--thanks to my faculty page at BYU. I also have #3 and #6

#3 is the TWG, since my name now actually appears on reviews.   #6 is The Leading Edge.

Wow, what are the numbers on those hits for me?
When I do a google search for my REAL name, I either hit 4 or 6 of the top 10, depending on whether I use my middle initial. Either my sites get more traffic than I think, or there really AREN'T many people named Eric Ehlers in the world.

Heh. I tried "Charlie Mitchell"... The 20th hit is mine, from the Nobilis mailing list archive, the rest were all sporting personalities. Baseball, boxing, football i think. I'm an active guy apparently. Also a lot of family history stuff, sites in america. I've founded a lot of towns as well.

Yeah.  But they've got a real problem with typewriters.  Takes 'em forever to get anything quality out.  But eventually they do.

Wow.  I'm actually #1, so three cheers for me.  My full name, however, is uncommon (Robison Wells) so I'm not terribly surprised it's #1.

Not too many of my name around either.  I showed up #1 on my google search as well.  But with a name like mine, it has to be good!!!   ;)

My name is so dang common I wasn't in the top 20 of any version of it, and I gave uplooking after that. I did discover, however, that apparently I'm a an honorary Canadian citizen: http://www.jenn.com/canadian/cert.cgi?name=Dan+Wells

I'm not entirely sure that's something to be proud of.

I think i should damn well be an honorary citizen, seeing as how they use our queen and all. Bloody freeloading gits.
