Well then my full name brings up the first hit as a myspace page (not mine, I hate myspace). My first and last name bring up a wikipedia page.

Interesting side note: Google Michael Kelly and my dads super old, hasnt been updated in years, free website is the third hit...

I did. It was kind of like what happened in Wanted.

...OK, I'm not that lame. But it did come up with a law firm, and a poorly written urban dictionary entry stating "a girlfriend or significant other; your b****." It also spelled a lewd word for a butt with five S's. Splendid.

Apparently, there's a me in Mexico, New York, Deutschland (somewhere), and me.

1st person sounds like identity theft, 2nd and 3rd sound legit. And 4th.

I mean, come on! Germanic name in Mexico? That does not match.

If I search google images for my full name there is not one colour picture there.

Not many people are named Frederick these days.

Huh. The only reason I googled my name is because this poll suggested it to me.

Needless to say, it's quite likely there'll be a lot of 'Yups'.

From googleselfing over the years I've found that my personal empire consists of a landscaping company, a design studio, a photography company, a law firm, a guitarist who's doing pretty well for himself, and a wig factory.

I have several alternate lives. One is as an actor for TV shows; one runs a company named Syatt Productions (He lives in Las Vegas). Apparently I am also CEO of Sin City Calendar Girls Talk-It-Up. I do not need to know more about that one.

Apparently, I'm a retired preschool teacher, a musician, and an author. And when I put in my middle name, I'm a manager of some company.
And on images, I'm a New Zealand baseball star. Sweet! And a warehouse worker...person...

Apparently I'm an attorney in Syracuse. And some other things.

I tried Google Images and I got two pictures. One was something having to do with a newsletter and the University at Buffalo, and it consisted of "tell us about yourself ;-)" written in blue text. And there was another one too

I saw a personalized Virginia license plate consisting entirely of your last name in my town the other day.

Just don't nuke my town while trying to eliminate this potential threat. Try more conventional bombs that only destroy a block or two at a time.

First and last name brings up a lot of stuff about either a high school in Alabama or a journalist from Boston in the late 1700's and early 1800's.

Full name brings up stuff about heraldry and a...poet? with my dad's name (my middle name is my dad's first name).

Yes, I have. Turns out there's a guy with my same first and last name as well as middle initial, but he's like 30, so it's not me. o_0
