Googling Will Divide

At some point, everyone should Google themselves. In addition to finding out what there is to say about you personally on the internet, you can also find out what other people with your name may be up to.

Google Will Divide, and you won’t find me until the 37th link, which goes to show you that I’m not very popular. Most of the links ahead of me are about how you can buy property without having to purchase the full tract of land. There’s also a doctor based out of Oklahoma who apparently offers free proctology exams for the poor, which sounds both very generous and somewhat creepy.

Then there’s this one link about a guy name Will K. Divide from Boston who lived in the 19th Century. He apparently killed a bunch of kids before the cops could catch and execute him. He went by the cool name of the Boston Orphan Strangler.

There is this one website called reefermadness.com that has the story of a teenager named Will Divide. He lived in Kansas City in the 1930s and was found menacing in downtown while apparently delusional from smoking marijuana cigarettes. The cops shot him to death before he could menace some more.

My favorite though is the wikipedia entry on Will Divide. He apparently helped the Nazis during World War II even though he was gay. He was no subversive; Divide kept his homosexuality a secret because he believed in the cause. Although Will was not directly responsible for the killing of Jews, he did set up concentration camps. Reports are that his concentration camps were the best decorated in the whole Nazi camp system.

I’m just a simple blogger. As you can see, I have a lot to live up to.
