A Fun Game To Play With Google Images
- Think of a name (first name only).
- Think of famous people with that first name.
- Guess which person has the first result in a Google Image search for that name.
- Perform said Google Image search and compare results.
- My results appear below.
- George: George Clooney. In retrospect, I probably should have picked George W. Bush, and unsurprisingly, this was the first result.
- Bill: Bill Clinton. Unfortunately, it appears that Bill Bryson is more popular. Perhaps if I had performed this search 10 years ago, in Clinton’s heyday, things would be different.
- William: William Shakespeare. Wrong again - Prince William is number one, followed by one William Dicks.
- Seth: Seth Rogen. I was the first result! Actually that honor goes to the Egyptian god (or a statue of him I guess, if we’re being picky about wording) - but I am the first result for “seth glickman”. Or at least a strange creation of my face superimposed on 50 Cent’s body. And my mouth is upside-down. Thanks, Colby.
- John: John McCain, maybe? It was John Paczkowski. Never heard of him. Oh well.
- Mickey: Mickey Mouse. 1 for 6.
- Isaac: Isaac Newton. First was a rendering of biblical Isaac, followed by Isaac Asimov.
- Tina: Tina Fey. I thought this was a no-brainer, but instead I was surprised by Tina Wallmann, the CarbonPoker Queen of Hearts, and then Tina Wang.
