if it menas the first, then you have an opportunity to become very famous, with a unique name. If the second... I share your pain.


Nope, there are other people, but not many. What is funny is that nearly all live in the same region of France, the one where my grandparents are born . So i guess those people are very distant cousins and uncles

My namesake an author so I'm nowhere near the top. Plus almost all my online stuff is pseudonymed. Search Immortal Wombat and I'm 7 of the first 10.

However, hit #33 of my real name brings up a guy who looks just like Glonky

Aha, here we go, #479 and #520 are me.

Yup. Surprised me too...

The first is the wonderful person who decided to register immortalwombat.com - read it "I'm Mortal Wombat - dot - com" (I'm being polite here. If you're there, kind fellow wombat, I'd like to buy your domain name) Incidentally, mortalwombat.com is not registered.

The second is some idiot loser who came up with a grand animal fighting tournament in Australia, where marsupials would duke it out to go up against the Immortal Wombat in the final, and lose. This was another pun on MK, and I didn't mind so much, because it was a crap idea, and would have died fairly quickly. I posted on his forum asking him to kill it faster. No luck there.

But what really pissed me off was when he realised it was a crap idea, so posted another webpage saying "The Immortal Wombat sucks donkey ****". I would like to point out that this is untrue. I do not. No hard feelings, the page seems to be gone now, or at least, it doesn't turn up as the very first Google Search result for "Immortal Wombat" like it used to. I do. Hoorah.

The third and last Immortal Wombat I have found it a reviewer on a Nintendo site or something. He racks up quite a few hits on Google. I think I'll copyright the name and sue him.

Well it seems fairly easy to get yourself listed on Google without trying as long as webpages mentioning you exist - I'm trying for the #1 spot, which should be mine in the fullness of time as the three older ones above me drop down the list...

I'm not kidding. 3,700,000 hits and I didn't find one of them about me. Of course I only looked at the first five pages so maybe I'm some where way down the list.
