it's funny just to mess around with it. Like Smith is #1 obviously, but I put it Fire and it said it was like 57,000th. Doorknob was not found. So I guess no one has the last name doorknob in the US...

I'm guessing my mother was too tired from child birth and couldn't think of anything original...

Hence my name: Timothy John Smith.

I'm gonna name my kid ZQX676 or something crazy.

I realize I'm probably being a dick here, but do you guys really have to hijack every topic with this sort of imbecilic banter? These two guys plus a few other culprits have really hurt the signal to noise ratio on this forum. If you don't have anything of value to say, just keep it to yourself. I'm sick of sorting through pointless posts such as those. Ugh.
