10,000 Random Names Database
I had a need to generate a list of random names, and finding such a list on the internet was not particularly easy.  Of course, I have access to a larage database of about 600,000 people, so I just took the top 500 first names, the top 1000 last names, and did a cross join.  Selected the top 10,000 of them, ordered randomly, and put them into a spreadsheet for your pleasure.  I've also uploaded a csv file and an access db.

Mistaken Identifiers: Gene name errors can be introduced inadvertently when using Excel in bioinformatics
A little detective work traced the problem to default date format conversions and floating-point format conversions in the very useful Excel program package. The date conversions affect at least 30 gene names; the floating-point conversions affect at least 2,000 if Riken identifiers are included. These conversions are irreversible; the original gene names cannot be recovered.
