PZ Myers just tried out a website that tells you how many people have your name. Apparently, there are 1,184 other Paul Myers out there. So I decided to try out my name, Karl Mogel. Guess how many Karl Mogels there are out there besides me?

How many have your name?
That’s funny, because not only do I have that name, I have a cousin named Karl Mogel as well. The difference is that I was born first, and have the middle name Joseph, and he has the middle name of William. What on earth is this program using as a basis for these calculations?
There are 106,489 people in the U.S. with the first name Karl.
There are 630 people in the U.S. with the last name Mogel.
While both names you entered were found in our database, neither was common enough to make it likely that someone in the U.S. has that name.

It’s based on likelihood - on chance. Piece of crap. The fact that there are two Karl Mogels and this thing says there are none by chance makes me wonder who programmed it?
