Experimental data: Oh my god... my company's name does in fact appear on
Wikipedia! o_O (There's no actual article, but it's referenced.)
Holy crap!! You're on wikipedia!

OTOH, I've searched my real name in Google and came up with some true
references for me and some for homonyms...

I was pretty impressed to discover that every trolley stop in San Diego has
its own page on Wikipedia.
The first time I read about the Greentree database[1] I thought it was far
over the top compared to any other science fiction concept there. Now I'm
not so sure.
[1] For those who haven't encountered it, "Greentree" is the traditional
name of the cyberpunk database that holds all accumulated knowledge in a way
that is easy to access with neural connections. I think Vinge first called
it Greentree (as in the name of the company that published it) and many
other writers picked up the name from there.

The NFL should go international. I'd pay to
see the Detroit Lions vs the Roman Catholics.
