George Is Here!!!!

A while ago, Chuck wrote about www.wheresgeorge.com. I would link the entry, but not sure I can be bothered to go through his archives. If you'd like to do so, knock yourself out.

Anyway, we're all about wheresgeorge. I went so far as to have a little stamp made that I put on all my bills, religiously, for a while. I would dutifully enter them in my personal bills database. Then I'd go and spend them. Then I'd go and check back. I've entered several hundreds of dollars into their system and have not had one hit.

Well today I go to pay for lunch and notice that one of my bills has www.wheresgeorge.com on it. I got soooo excited. The people I was lunching with thought I was insane, but I don't really care.

Anyway, I just entered my bill into wheresgeorge. It was originally entered in Witchia, Kansas on February of this year. It's been waiting to be found for 245 days and 59 minutes, and it traveled a distance of 1,195 miles (for an average of 4.9 miles per day).

The person who entered the bill will now get an e-mail from the system.

OK, I'm probably the only person who thinks this is vaguely cool, but I do, so there.

You should give us a link to the bill in the wheresgeorge database.

It doesn't work that way or you'd have had it. So sorry. I was in the page when I got the link. All you get is a link to the main wheresgeorge page.

Hi, I just stumpled across your blog a few days ago. I got a bill a few months ago with www.wheresgeorge.com stamped on it. I wish I had known what it was at that time. It would have been interesting to find out where it had been.
