# This script consists of a list of (100 each):

# - The top 200 most populous cities in US, with cities and states with
#   whitespace in their names excluded, which eliminates ~70 cities.
#   The remaning cities are reuced to exactly 100 in number by eleminating
#   the least populous cities remaining in the list in Texas and California.
#   This gives a slightly more geographically random distribution. Ref:

# - The most common surnames and male female given names in the US.

# Data was collected from:

# http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/list_of_united_states_cities_by_population
# http://names.mongabay.com/data/1000.html
# http://names.mongabay.com/male_names.htm
# http://names.mongabay.com/female_names.htm

# We flip a coin for male/female, then generate three random numbers beween
# 1 and 100, picking a first name, a last name, and a city. We then search
# the white pages for a published phone and address listing for that combo,
# which is very likely to exist, given that we're strategically selecting
# common names and places. If we fail, try again, on sucess, show findings.

# 100 first names *2 genders *100 last names *100 cities = 2 million people! #
