See, the only annoying thing about mine is that there's some artist guy also named Philip Stanton, and I haven't totally eradicated him from the first page of results yet. In fact, he has almost half of it. That asshole.

AMAZINGLY, searching for "Dr. Sylvan" yields me none of the first page real estate. It's like my vast campaign to dominate the internet hasn't worked at all! WTF!

Google my name and you will get tons of articles on my uncle who testified in front of Congress on the Vince Foster suicide.  He was a White House FBI agent and thought that the Clintons were bad news.  It was a huge controversy.

If you Google just my name you will get my Star City stuff and my Dad who is a quasi lobbyist for a National Park in Dayton OH.

Jeez´ if I look for Gabethebabe all the hits are me (with the first my profile of MOTL where I´m banned HARHARHAR) and if I look for Gaby van Dinteren almost all the hits are me.

Baby I´m a STAR

Through Ilse.nl I found this link: http://www.bridgeguys.com/BPPictures.html

Just find the guy that is called Gaby VON Dinteren in the list (do they think I´m German?) and it´s meee!! God damn I´m one ugly MF-er!!

The first result I tend to get is that I'm a member of the 'Council of the Isles of the Dead that Live'. Even more strangely, this is true. Then there's like infinite tourney reports, some SCG articles and my movie reviews and column on cinemaskoop.com. And hooray! My deviantart page is there, too!

And apparently, I came in 46th in the 12th national Chaal-walk (?) clocking in at just under eight minutes for 1340 meters. This avegares at some 10 kp which is not half bad, escpecially considering I was never even near the place.

Ilse.nl only finds infinite film reviews by my hand. I never even realised I had written so many!

The first hit I get is a link to the article "The dubious genius of Andrew Marshall."  I had a clipping from a William Safire oped on my office door that began, "Andrew Marshall is the most progressive thinker in Washington today..."  Too bad he's a neocon.

Apparently, I got my Ph.D. at the University of Washington in '91, and I am now a professor of East Asian History.

On a seperate page, I am a current Ph.D. student at the University of British Columbia.

When I Googled Andy instead of the full Andrew, I turned out to be the top medical malpractice personal injury lawyer in Chicago, which is kind of a weird coinciedence because I am, in fact, currently in Chicago
(like, for real, not just according to Google).

Also, have people here seen Googlism yet?  It generally gets some funnier results.

The number bit ("Stanton is 33") is likely do to the fact that the so-called Stanton number is a dimensionless number used in fluid mechanics to signify the ratio between heat transfer and heat capacity. It is itself a function of the Nusselt, Reynolds and Prandtl numbers. Be glad your name is Stanton rather than any of the latter three. Allthough the Reynolds number is the most interesting one by far (since its used to determine wether a flow is laminary or turbulent), everyone would call you Burt rather than Pip in that case Smile

My last name gave some Dutch results:

verhees is gestopt als onze leider (...has quit as our leader)

That last one is a bit ominous....
