My grandfather has one.
I'm not notable and I hope to keep it that way. ;-)

I don't but most of my Avatar does... minus the head of-course.  BTW, my ER was my "Great Escape". I emailed this photo (with my image) to my boss and co-workers when I announced my ER. Certainly a story worthy of Wikipedia.

Do you have a Wikipedia page about you?

Made me look.
Apparently they've named a Swedish folk-rock band and a species of fir tree after me.

I don't have, nor do I want, a wikapedia page. But I did look at Google and found there was too much information on me including the books I'd co-authored--and web pages where to purchase--and a lot of unimportant biographical information. And I'm not happy about it. Like TIGGER, I want to be "not notable". My life then and my life now are totally different.

Nope. And this thread reminds me...I was reading a novel yesterday and there was a reference to an encyclopedia. The sentence went on to say that an encyclopedia is like Wikipedia only in a bound book form with paper pages.
I felt incredibly old!

Of course I do........

I once googled my name, and found references to my proudest technical paper that I wrote on an obscure topic. So, I was glad that there were some people out there working the same problem, and found my work useful.
But I also found a guy with the same name being called "Public Enemy #1" by a state police, and they were pursuing him. Yikes! This was a few years ago, and I surely hope that they have caught him. What's the chance of me being stopped for a minor traffic violation while traveling through that state, and they mistake me for this guy?

On The Late Late Show, Craig Ferguson when referring to a publication often tells his audiences that books (or newspapers) are blog-like papery things.
