Somehow him being a philosopher doesn't surprise me at all.

Btw, I start in university these days (Finnish language

) and thought of choosing philosophy as my secondary subject. ^_^ It seems I'm not doing any "real" job in the future either...

Yes, it is not him. Jens is another kind of genius. Some info I found about this guy, not the JJ we all know:
''Jens Johansson got his doctoral degree in 2005. His dissertation is called Mortal Beings: On the Metaphysics and Value of Death. From February 2007 to January 2009 he was a Research Associate and Postdoctoral Fellow at the Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics at the University of Oxford. He is now a postdoc at Stockholm University. Since January 2009 he is one of the editors of Tidskrift för politisk filosofi, a Swedish journal of political philosophy. Among other things he is currently working on the forthcoming volume Oxford Handbook of Philosophy and Death (Oxford UP, co-edited with Ben Bradley and Fred Feldman).''

Dear mr Johansson,
We received your application for the position of Research Associate and Postdoctoral Fellow, and your book and CV is most impressive, but after googling your name we would like you to clarify a few things:
etc etc
And then hilarity ensues. "No, that other asshole just has the same name as I do!!" My god, this dude must be pissed off at me by now!
I know a pianist named "Michael J Smith". He sometimes rants about "that astronaut"

Hehe I can imagine:
Mister Johansson, is there a philosophical reason to call yourself San Diablo?
You appear to have a strong taste for vodka and other alcoholic drinks, how did it affect your perception of philosphy? Is it in fact the true background of your writing Mortal Beings: On the Metaphysics and Value of Death?
Mister Johansson, what exactly did happen in that plane? Do you expect us to hire you as a Research Associate after this event?
How to fuck a philosopher's life...
