randomness is kinda fun
I'm not sure how I ended up on this site, but I found it amusing. The author had snarky comments about some pretty bizarre baby names. I'm not sure where s/he gathered the writings from parents (forums, maybe?) but some of these people... ARRRGH! I found this particular entry funny for the simple reason that I know at least one of each. All the gun named boys were rednecks of the worst kind, and all the "uncool" named boys were some of the most interesting people I had ever met. From Bad Baby Names:
Cool Boy Names: Ruger, Hunter, Colt
Un-Cool Boy Names: Nigel, Gareth, Lance
Cool: Obssession with names that paint a picture of blood-soaked death.
Uncool: Foppish Brits what don't hunt and kill.
This was snagged from bezigebij. I don't want to be ANY of those things! (Well, maybe a writer, but I'm not really all that inspired in that direction.)

You are also good at remembering information and convicing someone of your point of view. A master of creative phrasing and unique words, you enjoy expanding your vocabulary.
You would make a fantastic poet, journalist, writer, teacher, lawyer, politician, or translator.

There's another really long-ish meme making the rounds that I may do later when I'm not so swamped with work that I should be doing now. Keep an eye out!
