    But only 200 Years later, and to have your name floating around on sites like Google?

    How would you feel ?

    On a side note, I think I am going to give up starting threads cause everyone I start seems to get moved, like my drainage problem, the Gooogle joke, and the Ben Dunne sports thread :(
    fck you if you think I should, FREE SPEECH

    A) Everyones name is floating on google, if you know how to use it.

    B) There is no free speech on boards, it's a benevolent dictatorship, if you talk out of turn, the gestapo will get you.

    Wait, just saw it said 200 years later.

    Well, I imagine I would be reduced to compost by then, so I would feel very little.

    Well different from country to country. We might have a Ray Foley day. The UK might have Wayne Rooney day.

    You won't get famous with crap threads like this.

    That's what I said to Alexander McQueen.

    I wouldn't mind being famous for something real, but I could never stand being a "celebrity". When your 15 minutes are up, what the heck do you do with yourself?

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    I'll still be on google in two hundred years I think.
    Surely someone will still have interest in I,Joseph Fritzl?

    I don't think I would ever want to be famous.
    Random people annoying in the street/pub/anywhere while you are going about your everyday life.
    I really want to make something that will be remembered though,
    something that people (however few) will still talk about in 50 years.

    I'd never want to be famous. Renowned, possibly. Infamous. . . maybe.
