Who is Michael Savu?

So, I was browsing the QDB: Top 50 Quotes, and I came across this classic (warning, offensive language!). I wondered then, “Who is Michael Savu? Will his mom ever find the post?”
hehe.

  1. Googled from Belgium

    Damn… poor Savu must be freaked out to know that all these people are looking for him… what happens if we find him anyway? ^^

  2. man, 208 posts and no confirmed sightings of Michael Savu? what a bummer. somebody get on it already!

  3. Michael Savu is the ghost in the internet! He’ll live forever on Google.

    This is the best thing I’ve found on the net in ages.

  4. How many years have passed? Leaving my footprint in the history of Internet legends – I’ve googled him too.

  5. I went from Bash to Google to Here and I think that maybe this is a sign from above that I should turn off the computer now.

  6. well if all the cool kids are saying they got here from google after reading a bash.org quote…

  7. First saw the quote years ago and just stumbled over it again. Definitely time for bed, methinks.

  8. I, too, have googled Savu. I, too, have failed to turn him up. Good luck, fellow Savu-ites.

  9. Wow. 4 years of this phenomonon. I saw the quote ages ago, got bored and thought “who’d google this?”

    …i feel like such a geek. ;___;

  10. i made a wikipedia page about him. has anyone ever tried to call the guy with the numbers provided above?

  11. Michael was all talk and no walk. Worst 5 minutes I’ve ever had. I told my sister to not even bother with him.

  12. I just googled his name and got here too, after reading it on bash LOL. He should get his own Wikipedia page as an Internet Phenomenon (or is it not that big yet?)

  13. Man, this is awesome. I actually think its quite probable Michael Savu would have found this page by now, if that’s his real name. Admit it, all of you have google your own name.

    And if he found this page, he would probably write something. And has probably done. But we think its fake, because there’s at least three different comments claiming to be from him, and two from his mom.

    Sigh.

  14. Michael Savu, d. July 10th 2005. Died of embarassment at realizing that he was immortalized on bash.org.

    all i found on the internet ;P

  15. It’s probably more common to see a UFO than to see Michael Savu… oh where are you?

    Came via the Bash-Google route.

    Iceland wants to find you Savu…

  16. michael savu was last spotted heading south for the mexican border on a cool chopper, being pursued at a high speed by his mom in a helicopter gunship…run michael! run!!

  17. Bash, Google, you know the drill. I actually saw the quote years ago, but this is the first time I’ve thought to Google it. It looks like at least one attempt to create an article on Wikipedia failed when an editor called it “nonsense”:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Krynny

    Somebody needs to rectify this immediately.

  18. Another one looking for Michael Savu. Same path, bash. google. here.
    Sad to hear that even today he’s still misssing.
