Revision as of 21:22, 23 October 2011
There are just too many Ed Egans. Egan is an Irish surname, the Republic of Ireland is 86.8% Catholic[1], and the Catholic Church has been opposed to any form of birth control[2] since about 191AD (The Instructor of Children 2:10:91:2). Likewise, Edward (and hence Ed) is a common English (and Spanish, Portugese and Proto-Germanic) 'Christian' name[3]. Edward is perhaps particularly common in conjunction with the surname Egan, because it alliterates and trips off the tongue nicely. Do the math(s).
(Note that I am stuck between cultures now, and really want to add the 's' to maths, where it belongs, but fear ridicule from my American colleagues).
So I am posting this page in the hope of reclaiming my identity. What with namicide (not to be confused with nomicide - which is calling me "Eddie") being a made up word (as well as illegal, immoral, and time-consuming), I have decided that my best course of action is to get myself to the top of Google.

I'm going to have to become the definitive source on Edward Egan (the cardinal); there is just no other way that I'm going to dethrone his wikipedia entry in the short term (he is 79, so unless he achieves Sainthood, I'm probably good in the long-run - sorry if this is in poor humour Your Grace.).
