...especially the ponies. I'm sure there are countless others like me who have rarely posted through the years but have visited regularly as part of their continuing education. The information superhighway has become far more crowded and noisy in recent years, but it has always been nice to have a place that feels like home right here. Best wishes in your next adventure.

Girl Wins Right to Change Stupid Name 3

A 9-year-old New Zealand girl, Talula Does the Hula From Hawaii, has been made a ward of the court so that she can be given her a name that won't "... make a fool of the child and set her up with a social disability and handicap." This was not the first crazy name Family Court Judge Rob Murfitt has encountered. Among some of the most memorable: twins named Benson and Hedges, Violence, and Number 16 Bus Shelter. Some other New Zealand Names that were denied by The Registrar General of Births, Deaths and Marriages include Fish and Chips, Yeah Detroit, Stallion, and Sex Fruit. On a more personal note, there are still some hard feelings at our office as Mr. Malda did not name his child "Zanzibar Buck Buck Mcfate" as agreed to at lunch.
