Googled. Brian Ford on eBay?

Today I did something I have not done before. I looked up my own name in Google or "Googled" myself. While it was interesting to see that there are several other characters sharing the name "Brian Ford" with me on the Internet; Google displayed a single advertisement on the right side of the display. It read : "Great Deals on Brian Ford". OK. So I must check this link.

The funny thing is that moments later when eBay popped up on my display there actually were a number of items that matched "Brian Ford" on eBay. The item that appeared several times was "Brian Redman's Ford GT 40", a 1:32 scale slot car. The other item that appeared was the movie "Presumed Innocent" starring Harrison Ford and Brian Dennehy. The best though was "GERMAN SECRET WEAPON BLUEPRINT FOR MARS - BRIAN FORD", a book offered by a North Dakota based auction house. Nope. I didn't write that.
