Google fun

I'm sure you've all done this before:

You're sitting at work wondering what to do and you start typing your name into google.com. Depending on what you've accomplished in your short but sweet lifetime, you might actually get a link to something that mentions you and not some famous historian from NYU or Beijing. After you've gotten bored tying in all versions of your name, you go to your family and friends'. The next step is to type in people you've dated, hoping, of course, to find that they've since been arrested for having sex with underage hookers. When this fails, you move to anyone else you can think of. Old teacher, bosses, High School enemies, Father Smith from The Holy Baptist Church of New England, etc...

Last week, Melissa e-mailed Dana Wise and I regarding one of these common endeavors. She was doing research and ended up typing Dr. Tagg's name into Wikipedia. (Try it...it's hilarious if you know Dr. Tagg) Dana and I proceeded to type in everyone we knew and had some fun exchanging e-mails between the 3 of us for an afternoon.

Well, Dana just informed me that she wasn't quite done, and started typing WS players into google. One of you is lucky enough to have your name match 3 out of your first 6 results to this fantastic blog! Is it you? Google it up and find out...
