1. that is funny

I should send that to this guy, who blogs about oddities in names:

Twilight Language blog
The twilight language explores hidden meanings and synchromystic connections via onomatology (study of names) and toponymy (study of place names). This blog further investigates "name games" and "number coincidences" found in news and history. Examinations are also found in my book The Copycat Effect (NY: Simon and Schuster, 2004).


As an aside, however, a friend of mine went to the law school where she teaches. She teaches legal writing. He said she has a reputation for being a nice person and students try to get into her class. He unfortunately did not get her for the legal writing class and had to suffer through someone who wasn't quite so friendly.

"Kim Guadagno: The Unknown Lieutenant Governor (10-31-13"

snip//

"..Despite her low-profile, Guadagno has made some missteps. In 2011, Guadagno alienated some members of the state’s arts community by saying that the New Jersey State Council on the Arts had improperly awarded $300,000 worth of contracts for public art projects.

The council’s former executive director, Steve Runk, resigned after Guadagno called for his dismissal. Runk, who now works for Princeton University, declined to comment on the events, saying only that he didn’t want to relive the “terrible things that were done.” But Guadagno’s accusations never came to anything after a state investigation. Many in the arts community believe that Runk was unfairly demonized and damaged for reasons unknown."
