Hey everybody. Everybody loves random facts, right? So I've created this topic to discuss about them.

Let me begin.

In England a woman named Ceejay Epton (age 22) decided to change her name after her son was born. The reason: she wanted to help the baby to learn the alphabet faster. Then she changed her name to

"Ceejay A Apple B Boat C Cat D Dog E Elephant F Flower G Goat H House I Igloo J Jellyfish K Kite L Lion M Monkey N Nurse O Octopus P Penguin Q Queen R Robot S Sun T Tree U Umbrella V Violin W Whale X X-Ray Y Yo-yo Z Zebra Terryn Feuji-Sharemi"

She got the idea from a friend that wanted to be named "Pink" and decided to change her name too.

The good news is that on England, the name changing process is easy and costs £10

If you put your hand on a table/floor/desk etc. And bend your middle finger in when the other fingers are still out it is unlikely for you to be able to move your ring finger when your middle finger is still bent. Give it a try

Clans a long time ago that wanted to get rid of unwanted people without killing them used to burn their houses down ..... hence the expression "to get fired".
