It's amazing how many of us share the same name. There are billions of people in the world. There just aren't enough names for everyone, therefore, we must share some of the same names over and over again. For example, many Johns in the world, many Matthews, many Dennis', and many other names. Well, would you believe that not only would you be sharing the same first name with thousands of other people in the world, but your last name too?

I searched ICQ and 11 other Matthew Gates' came up. Now, this is just for ICQ, think of the Matthew Gates' that don't have ICQ or the ones that don't have a computer! That's a lot! I can't believe it! I thought I was the only Matthew Gates in the world! I've never met another Matthew Gates, but I have had someone ask me if I was a Matthew Gates from NY. But it's weird. Perhaps an act of God, if HE or IT exists, to make sure no two Matthew Gates' exist in the same area. Notice how we're all spread apart, all around the world. So maybe we never encounter someone else with our exact same name.

Search ICQ and a bunch of other areas, for your first and last name, tell me how many people came up sharing the same first and last name with you! And have you ever met a person with the same exact name as you? It's amazing how it is. Just weird how most people with the same first and last name are just about never in the same area of the world, or perhaps they are, just don't know it, and sometimes, never even find out that other person with the same exact first and last name, may be, just around the corner from you?
