Jerry Kindall alerts us to a new parlor game: your Google Suggest number.
The idea is based on Google's new beta service, Google Suggest, which suggests possible search terms as you type. The idea is to search for yourself by typing your name and determining how many letters you have to type before your name comes up in the suggestion list, and which item on the list is your name (see Jerry's post for the details — I might as well send him a little traffic, eh?). Matt Carter thinks you should add a third digit which indicates where in the search results you appear.
Using myself as an example, I'm a 7.2.1, because when you type the first seven letters of my name (Boyd Gar), my name appears as the second item in the list. If you go ahead and search on my entire name, the first result is a link to a reference to me (as opposed to some other Boyd Garrett, of which there are actually a few).
The whole thing smacks of narcissism a bit, but it's all in good fun.
Update: For what it's worth, Paris Hilton is a 1.1.1, which a colleague mentioned to me (not using this numbering system) on the day that Google Suggest was announced to the public.
