Here's a fun Google game:
Feb. 15th, 2007 12:54 amGo to www.google.com - not .uk or wherever, as that might bias the results.
Type in a name. Your name, your brother's/sister's name, your friend's name, whatever. It must be a real name, of someone you know.
On the first page only, without clicking the links, count how many you recognise as actually being the person whose name you put in.
I've got 7. My sister's got 9. I tried a few friends and they got anywhere between 0 and 6.
If you want to be annoying, instead of just bored, EMail the person whose name you Googled, and tell them how many of the links you think are them, and ask them to check. Don't forget to include the link to the results page.
