Thanedom

The unexpectedly large number of Plambecks on Facebook (a Facebook login is required to view that page—anyway, it's almost 100 of them) raises the ugly possibility that the world might actually contain more than one THANE PLAMBECK.

There's even an ALASDAIR PLAMBECK. He plays volleyball somewhere in the Bay Area, it looks like. Where there's an ALASDAIR, could a THANE be far behind?

I'm thinking the chance that there is already another THANE PLAMBECK is maybe a coin flip. And if I go out and win the Nobel Prize or receive some other undeserved recognition, I'll bet the chances will only improve.

It's a disturbing thing to think about.
