I was searching the Internet for the most common last names. I wanted to write a story about Machine Agents, see, and everyone knows they always have real generic names--to make them seem more cookie-cutter, I suppose, and to correspond with their lack of personality, maybe. Someone up there has a sense of humor.

That's how I found the list. It had good names. The classic names--you know the ones. I only needed the first five, but my eye wandered down the list. I was wondering what number "Cruz" would come in at, I think.

That's when I saw it. The name. His name.

And I got to thinking just who has the sense of humor.

Ahahahahahaha.. That's crazy.

One a side note though.... what?!

Edit: Nevermind, I get it. =P

*fades into the shadows*

Edit: On second thought.. no I don't.
*is confused*

nothing wrong with hispanic/latino last names you know...but id imagine those would be the rowdier agents?

I think the number one name on that list, although obvious, speaks for itself. SMILEY

That is mighty intriguing and something I never knew. It'll be worthy to note that Sykin's bluepill name is "David Smith." David being number six, and Smith being one... 6 + 1 is 7. A number I hold as having much power.

Now for a small secret I like to think was unqiue: If you use a thesaurus on the word Smith you come back with interesting results... Wright (Wright Research, anyone?), Master... Machinist.
