a project i did a few months ago might be interesting to you as it relates
to 'the secret lives of numbers' project. actually it's very similar, it's
just that the database of 'numbers' is replaced with the database of
'celebs.'
I spent a week or two compiling a list of all the celebrities who's names I
could think of. I got 1010 names. I google searched each of these names,
took notice of how many sites appeared with the name, and created a list
with the names ranked from most to least popular based on how many site
references their name recieved.
a second list was then made of celebrities who have the same number of site
references. these celebrities can be considered to take up an equal amount
of earthly brain space.
well please take a look: http://celebrity.map.gmwc.org
i'd write more but i really must run.
i'm off to see a movie.
