1. wanksock

a sock that you spit your man fat on..

I share the same name as one of the international cricket umpires Mark Benson.

The first time I was just sitting there watching some cricket and WTF did the TV just say my name?!

Google search has him as the first hit.

several pages about 'The Last of the Mohicans'.

there a professor in there as well, but he hasn't invented the ability to stab someone thru the internet yet so he doesn't count.

hmm... maybe if he employed the Mohican technique

Seems like people are scared to reveal their real name?

I got a $0 bank balance so it doesn't matter... but what's with the secrecy.

because people are usually a******s on the internet and are too scared that if they post their real name people will find out where they live and come burn their house down.

most of us wouldn't care either if we had $0 bank balances, but that would be abnormal because its human nature to want more more more etc

I regularly google my name. I like to know what others might find if they do the same thing.

It used to be my stardom from PCUser magazine for a while, but that was pushed down the list quickly. You search the world and you get all sorts of other weird named people.

Search Australia and you will usually find me.

Now that my name has changed, it will be a lot easier to hide :D

Oohhhh I have an applied romance web-site. I forgot about that!

To quote me:

I combine thoughtfulness and intelligence with the “works-on-the-street” practicality developed by world-class pickup artists for creating and maintaining awesome relationships with women. This is not exactly “pickup,” although there is a fair bit of that as well. This is not sappy “men are from mars” new age hocus pocus. It is a record of what works with women.


I also have a self titled band in Dublin and a vetinary clinic in West Sussex. No wonder I'm so busy all the time.

I'M DEAD!

First result was a Wiki page, winnah!

Brendan Hughes (1948 – 16 February 2008[1]), also known as "The Dark",[1] was an Irish republican and former Officer Commanding (OC) of the Belfast Brigade of the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA),[2] who was mainly known as the leader of the 1980 Irish hunger strike.


OO an escapee too, the same guy:

On 8 December Hughes escaped inside a rolled up mattress in the back of a dustcart, and fled across the border to Dublin. After ten days he had returned to Belfast after assuming a new identity, becoming a travelling toy salesman named "Arthur McAllister". For five months Hughes lived in Myrtlefield Park near Malone Road, and was believed to be the new O/C of the IRA in Belfast following the arrest of Ivor Bell in February.[6][5]

The third hit on Google is actually me - but its just my Flixter profile.

The rest are for some Oklahoma sports champ and other randoms.
