I clicked on the banner ad and it ended up being a people search website.

Yes, there are tens of thousands of Karen Carpenters out there. None as famous as the one we love. And another thing too, why are there pop-ups for looking for home contractors?

The *Carpenters* word is not necessary identified with music..., in search mode.
I think that Rick doesn't have a choice, for now..., but, I'm not sure..., Rick?

Well Dave, I definitely think the find Karen Carpenter banner at the top of the page is tacky. I think we're all fairly certain Karen died. If not, who's autopsy did we read about? Anyway, I'm sure there's a lot of Karen Carpenters around. Boy, to be saddled with THAT name. Unfortunately, both Karen and Carpenter are fairly common names. The internet is very powerful but creepy at the same time.

That banner comes with the forum. It's all things related to a word search of "Carpenters", "Karen Carpenter" and "Richard Carpenter". |

Reminds me of an article I read in the Arizona Republic newspaper (Available in Laughlin, NV as the town is located right by the AZ state border) where there were many senior citizens at a Mesa, AZ senior community who were named George Harrison, Jim Morrison, and Janet Jackson. The 68 year old Morrison has never heard the Doors band before and he has been questioned over the years about it. Someone claiming to be Ringo Starr called the 73 year old George Harrison asking if he was really still alive and not dead like the famous Beatle one. And the 71- year-old Janet Jackson, being asked if her bra ever fell off?
I once had a friend named Jim Davis and people asked him if he was the same creator of Garfield.
Yes, my parents had a real estate broker named Karen Carpenter back in 1992. At the time, i wasn't into the Carpenters that much and neither were they.

Well Dave, I checked the telephone book here in the Laughlin, NV/Bullhead City, AZ area and I found about two or three Richard Carpenters here, but no specific Karens. There is a K Carpenter from Mohave Valley, AZ and a K Carpenter from Lake Havasu City, AZ but that could mean Kelly, Keith, Kiersten, etc.
