TRUE: NZ judge orders 'odd' name change
A judge in New Zealand made a young girl a ward of court so that she could change the name she hated - Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii.
Judge Rob Murfitt said that the name embarrassed the nine-year-old and could expose her to teasing.
He attacked a trend of giving children bizarre names, citing several examples.
Officials had blocked Sex Fruit, Keenan Got Lucy and Yeah Detroit, he said, but Number 16 Bus Shelter, Violence and Midnight Chardonnay had been allowed.
One mother wanted to name her child O.crnia using text language, but was later persuaded to use Oceania, he said.

A friend of mine called a local restaurant that had advertised that it was now serving all day breakfast.
He asked, W
hat time do you open for breakfast?
Anytime.
No, I mean what time do you open for breakfast?
We serve breakfast all day everyday, sir.
The question is what time do you open?
I have no idea! I am the closer. I don't open.
When does the store open its doors?
Early.

This man is a king. Not like in England, where the monarch's major function is cutting the tape at the openings of overpasses and subway stops. When this guy says, Off with their heads....well, heads are lopped. But when you have that much power you can just command people to follow the rules that he just makes up. Like not allowing women to drive. I actually like that one. Wouldn't you love to know the accident rate of a womanless driving country compared to one that allows them. I don't think we would be very surprised.
