The # Of Me

This morning I googled a friend's name. Nine of him lived in the USA, although the number dropped to one once I typed in his middle name.

There are over 66,000 Peter Smiths in the USA. They live in every state of the union and work at most professions. I know none of them.

Once I entered in my middle name, I became unique on Google, although there is a Peter Nolan-Smith in Canada, however he uses an hyphen between Nolan and Smith, so I am one out of 66,000.

1/66000 = 1 / 66 000 = 1.51515152 × 10-5

That's 10 to the 5th power.

Some maps are 1/66000.

Same as me.

The one and only of my kind.

But isn't everyone.

ps the photo is Keira Knightley from BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM.

She's one of a kind too.

Just like everyone in the world, past, present, and future.
