There's a guy at work called Nick Toone. It took me months to even realise there was anything weird about his name.

Certain names'll do that, especially if you encounter them often enough... took me ages to realise that there was something funny about my old school. Sir Roger Manwoods.

My wife's great grandmother was named Fructosa. She's Mexican and it wouldn't have been a particularly uncommon name at the time; I just think it's funny. I went to high school with a girl named Misty Mounts and I know a guy named Brett Steelhammer. As far as I know neither of them are in porn. My sister is friends with someone named Johnny Devine. I guess some of those are more awesome than terrible, but close enough.

My husband works with a Mexican guy called Hilario, which in Spanish is no more unusual than a name like Hope or Prudence* I guess, but it;s pretty funny for English speakers. He also works with a Vietnamese guy named Phuc (pronounced "Fook"). *I've always though Chastity is a really weird and creepy name. Your name is "not having sex with anyone"!

My husband is a huge football dork and has been calling our unborn child (9 weeks so no idea on gender yet) D'Brickashaw after a debate on what the dumbest possible temporary name we could come up with was.  I feel like it's slightly racist as we're both white as the driven snow, but it's still funny.

Prudence is a real word dude, pronounced 'PROO-dense'. It basically means being caring and cautious. Hope and Prudence are still lovely names though. (Yes I know you meant Hilario)

It's not like we'd know how to treat animals for certain diseases if we hadn't been slicing them up and packing them full of drugs. I mean, I can kinda dig the shirt, but that's mostly because frogs were my favorite animals throughout grade school and the frog dissection made me really sad. I ended up watching my lab partner do everything because I couldn't stand it.

Mary Beth Sweetland, VP of PETA, is diabetic. The insulin analog she uses? Tested on animals. These are the same people who say that animal testing is never OK, even if it leads to a life-saving discovery. The only moral X is my X, all over again. Content: I felt sorry for a girl I knew in high school. Her name wasn't anything particularly silly, but...well, Nikki Tyler rose to porn-star fame in the 1990s, and was a well-known name among horny teenage boys at the time.

Inspector Zenigata posted:Ghoulish as it sounds, dissecting animals in high school is what got me interested in biology. I can totally understand why you wouldn't want to personally do it; heck, I could even understand trying lobby for more protections for lab animals/more stringent requirements for the use of animals in research that necessitates sac'ing them. I just really hate PETA. Back when I used to work in a lab with animals, PETA and similar organizations would regularly hire people to take pictures of us and put them on the internet, try to break in and wreck up the place, scream in our faces on our way into work, etc. Not to mention the fact that the organization regularly gives money to eco-terrorists (the real kind that kill people and destroy millions of dollars and people's work/lives) and laughably stupid/misguided causes (Sea kittens, anyone?). Also they kill over 99% of the animals they "rescue". I agree wholeheartedly, and the dissections in my human anatomy class weren't nearly as bad. Same lab partner, same work division. She did dissections and I handled glassware. The eyeball dissection was actually pretty cool. They were definitely easier to handle when it was a part of a larger animal rather than a whole creature. Easier to dissociate. For content: The teacher who taught the only chemistry class I ever took (and nearly failed) was named Chad Mote. He watched beauty pageants during his planning period and rocked the douchestrap beard. In middle school we had a substitute teacher named Mrs Rice.

The La "dash" thing from Banner could easily be a photoshop (I use a very similar CRM). But if it is real, whoever posted it probably wants to remove it, now, in case the student accepts the admission offer. Then you're not only an idiot posting people's private information on a joke website, but you're also in violation of FERPA.
