Off the Record: Linden Shades Collector's Edition is an absolutely stunning hidden object puzzle adventure game recently released. The game fits into the genre very well with its creepy ghostly story and beautifully detailed graphics and various puzzles. You play as a reported who is trying to find out as much information as possible about an old case in Linden Shades. Children in an orphanage began to see blood-red ghosts, and the only person who thought they were real was their principle. Anyways the place was covered with fear. Now, you have a chance to become an insider of the story and see the truth behind all of the events.
Attention! Attention! All the hidden object puzzles adventure genre fans, your help is needed to save a town. Once again you are to kind of stand between the worlds, or rather dimentions to save the day in Dark Dimensions: City of Ash. But you know you should expect it from almost every new release if you are really a fan of this genre. Your family has disappeared a while back in the past and you have been studying the area of dark dimentions hoping to find the anwers to your questions. And suddenly you find yourself in one of those dark dimentions where the citizens of a town in California are trapped. A vulcanic eruption caused that and you need to watch out for another eruption as you are trying to save the trapped souls.
The idea of apocalypse has been one of the most beloved theme among writers within the last centuries. House of 1000 Doors: Serpent Flame Collector's Edition is a newly released sequel in the game series that challenges you to stop the evil before the evil brings this world to the end. We have rescued individual people and the whole world from destruction quite a few times here in the hidden object puzzle adventure genre. This time around the evil takes a form of giant snakes that appear on all of the continents. But that's not all, you will have a timed travel (a-ha! Another favorite theme of many) to collect the elements that are required for a machine that can stop the snakes.
It kind of feels counterintuitive that you get to save somebody else's life or the destiny of the whole world so many times. But it also feels a bit addictive and you don't want it to stop. Reveries: Sisterly Love Collector's Edition is a place where you get to rescue your sister's soul. You play as somebody who lost her sister because she wanted to protect you and so she sold her soul to a witch. But now you are a grown up and you are willing and able not only to protect yourself from a witch but also rescue your sister's soul before it's too late.
Oh, I'm pretty sure that many will be attracted to Chronicles of Albian 2: The Wizbury School of Magic. It is one of those themes that people really love for some reason. Maybe, it is because many people have good memories of their school times, none of those schools used magic, though. In this game you are to investigate who dared to burgler the school. It seems to be quite funny though that no magic is powerful enough for you to find that out, and you still have to follow the clues to find the burgler. That's not all, you are also to upgrade the school before an important event. Be prepared to meet all kinds of characters here - wizards, witches, students, professors, ghosts and ghouls.
This game is one of the latest releases into the hidden object puzzle adventure genre. Love Chronicles: Salvation Collector's Edition is a game where you are to yet another time save your land from the evil forces. But the very person that brings it on you might be just a puppet, though. You land is being attacked by an evil young lady. You are to put an end to it. But the end is hiddne in a different placeor rather person. A dark lord is manipulating Alura (the evil person) to do all the harm. You need to find and stop him as well and then someone who was considered a witch might just be a victim.
Dark Parables: The Final Cinderella is a hidden object puzzle adventure game based on a well known story. The game tells a tale full of adventure and unexpected turns. And all that is wrapped into gorgeous graphics and wonderful music. You play as a detective whose job is to stop the evil witch that is trying to find the real Cinderella. Many maidens are in danger before her search is over. You need to find a way to stop the whole process because the ultimate plan of the witch is to conquer the world.
Most of us went through this period when you grow up and suddenly realize that some of your family issues have not been exactly what you thought of them as you were a child. Family Tales: The Sisters is a hidden object puzzle adventure game where you need to go deep down to your family past and possibly change something. The game's story falls into a very familiar category of hidden object puzzle adventure games - you are haunted by nightmares where your sister is asking for your help. Soon you go to your family's house and find out that she really is in danger. This is an overly simplified version of the story, there is much more to it actually (the dark Lord, psychological trauma etc).

STANFIELD - Weston-McEwen shut out its fifth-straight opponent Friday night, taking out Blue Mountain Conference foe Stanfield 46-0.
The TigerScots scored 22 first-quarter points to set the tone for the game, held a 40-0 halftime lead and cruised to their third league win.
"We were excited about coming down and playing Stanfield," W-M coach Kenzie Hansell said. "They were 2-1 in league, and it was our first time traveling in league this year. The kids were ready to go. They were disciplined and they executed well."
TigerScot quarterback Dallas Reich threw for 158 yards and three touchdowns in the game - two to Elliot Salter.
Salter had four catches for 85 yards and the two TDs.
Tyler Peterson opened the TigerScots scoring spree with a 2-yard run. Reich followed that with a 17-yard pass to Nick Lively to put W-M up 14-0, and Reich then hit Salter for a 35-yard TD reception as the TigerScots ended the first quarter up 22-0.
Reich switched things up and took the QB sneak a yard for the first second-quarter score.
Salter answered with an 11-yard run of his own, and then was on the receiving end of a 20-yard pass from Reich.
Lively rounded out W-M's scoring with a seven-yard fumble recovery for a TD.
"We had a great week of practice," Hansell said. "We put in a few new tings, and the kids believe in each other to execute offensively and defensively. We had the time to throw, the line opened up holes, and were able to control their (Stanfield's) running game.
"Everybody played well," he said. "I was proud of our offense executing and coming out and setting the tempo for the game."
The TigerScots, now 3-0 in BMC play and 6-0 overall, head to Irrigon Friday.
"We had another great crowd by Weston-McEwen fans that traveled to Stanfield," Hansell said. "We look forward to next week."

- 1804 --- President Thomas Jefferson attends a public party at the Senate and leads a diverse crowd in consuming an enormous loaf of bread dubbed the mammoth loaf. The giant bread was baked to go with the remnants of an enormous block of cheese. Two years earlier, a group of Baptist women from Massachusetts had sent Jefferson a 1,200- pound hunk of cheese in gratitude for his support of religious tolerance. The cheese, they said, illustrated Jefferson's claim that North America's superior natural resources would one day enable the U.S. to outstrip all of Europe in agricultural production.
- 1872 --- An earthquake felt from Mexico to Oregon rocks the Owens Valley in California on this day in 1872, killing 30 people. California, with the large San Andreas Fault running through the entire state, is a prime area for earthquakes. At 2:30 a.m. on March 26, a large quake hit Inyo County in the Owens Valley of central California.
- 1885 --- The Eastman Dry Plate and Film Co. of Rochester, N.Y., manufactured the first commercial motion picture film.
- 1936 --- The first telescope with a 200-inch-diameter, reflecting mirror was shipped -- very, very carefully -- from Corning, New York
- 1937 --- The cities of Dilley, Texas, and Crystal City, Texas each erected a statue of Popeye, the cartoon character.
- 1937 --- Joe DiMaggio said he'd take Ty Cobb's advice and use a 36 or 37-ounce baseball bat instead of a 40-ounce stick during that
- 1945 --- In the Aleutians, the battle of Komandorski began when the Japanese attempted to reinforce a garrison at Kiska and were intercepted by a U.S. naval force.
- 1953 --- American medical researcher Dr. Jonas Salk announces on a national radio show that he has successfully tested a vaccine against poliomyelitis, the virus that causes the crippling disease of polio. In 1952--an epidemic year for polio--there were 58,000 new
- 1955 --- For its time, the mid-1950s, the lyrical phrase "You got to roll with me, Henry" was considered risqué just as the very label "rock and roll" was understood to have a sexual connotation. The line comes from an Etta James record originally called "Roll With Me Henry" and later renamed "The Wallflower." Already a smash hit on the Billboard Rhythm and Blues chart, it went on to become a pop hit in the spring of 1955, but not for Etta James. Re-recorded with "toned-down" lyrics by the white pop singer Georgia Gibbs, "Dance With Me Henry (Wallflower)" entered the pop charts on March 26, 1955, setting off a dubious trend known as "whitewashing."
- 1964 --- Pete Best, the drummer who Ringo Starr replaced in The Beatles, appeared live on the TV show "I've Got a Secret."
- 1969 --- John Lennon and Yoko Ono began their "bed-in" for peace in Amsterdam.
- 1969 --- A group called Women Strike for Peace demonstrate in Washington, D.C., in the first large antiwar demonstration since President Richard Nixon's inauguration in January. The antiwar
movement had initially given Nixon a chance to make good on his campaign promises to end the war in Vietnam. However, it became increasingly clear that Nixon had no quick solution. As the fighting dragged on, antiwar sentiment against the president and his handling of the war mounted steadily during his term in office.
- 1973 --- Women were allowed on the floor of the London Stock Exchange for the first time.
- 1974 --- David Essex received a gold record for the hit, Rock On. Though a million seller, Rock On never made it to number one on the pop-rock charts -- stalling at number five.
- 1979 --- In a ceremony at the White House, Egyptian President Anwar el-Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin sign a historic peace agreement, ending three decades of hostilities between Egypt and Israel and establishing diplomatic and commercial ties. Less than two years earlier, in an unprecedented move for an Arab leader, Sadat traveled to Jerusalem, Israel, to seek a permanent peace settlement with Egypt's Jewish neighbor after decades of conflict. Sadat's visit, in which he met with Begin and spoke before Israel's parliament, was met with outrage in most of the Arab world. Despite criticism from Egypt's regional allies, Sadat continued to pursue peace with Begin, and in September 1978 the two leaders met again in the United States, where they negotiated an agreement with U.S. President Jimmy Carter at Camp David, Maryland. The Camp David Accords, the first peace agreement between the state of Israel and one of its Arab neighbors, laid the groundwork for diplomatic and commercial relations. Seven months later, a formal peace treaty was signed.

From the most serene setting to the best in service from the staff I cannot stop telling poeple how wonderful the expereince was at Chanticleer. I have stayed in many B&Bs and Chanticleer would rate among the very best I have found. I will stay nowhere else when visiting in Door County. Give yourself (and a loved one) a wonderful treat and book a suite here soon!

Spent five nights for our honeymoon. Great price and wonderful people at the chanticleer. We always felt very cosy and taken care of in our cute room. Definitely recommend it!

We enjoyed our stay at the Chanticleer Guest House. We stayed in a barn suite. The room was huge, and everything was very clean. The grounds are just beautiful and very quiet, there were even bikes to ride! Check in/out was easy. A few slight things: the dimmer on the lights flickered and didn't stay set to the setting we had them on. The gas fireplace turned on with a timer and the sound of the timer ticking was distracting. The bathroom sink was slow. The air conditioner and fridge were kind of noisy also. But all of these things were very minor. We enjoyed our stay and would come back again and suggest it to others.

We had a wonderful time.. The room was much larger than we expected. Very clean. The breakfast was simple but amazing. This is the perfect place to relax and get away from it all.

While the cabins aren't all that far removed from each other, they are private enough to provide a romantic atmosphere, w/ state of the art amenities and all around comfort/cleanliness. The location is great, just outside of Sturgeon Bay, and the service was very friendly and helpful. The only noticeable downside were the breakfasts, which were tasty (though a bit sugary), but slightly smaller than we would've preferred. All around though, this was a very nice place to splurge, a wonderful week.

Grounds were awesome; has pool, bikes, and nice jacuzzis. Breakfast was decent - the OJ wasn't very good, but the fruit and muffins were tasty. We also loved the chocolate chip cookies awaiting us when we checked in.

My husband and I actually stayed there for our honeymoon. It felt totally private and secluded. Very romantic with a lot of charm. The owners were extremely generous. The location was great for exploring the rest of Door County. Just watch out for deer! My husband and I have recommended the Chanticleer and we plan on going back for a weekend for an anniversary!

If you are looking to have a cozy getaway, I highly recommend Chanticleer Guest Houses. My wife and I got a cabin for 4 days for our honeymoon, and everything was absolutely perfect. Cabin was meticulously clean and stocked with extra soap or towels. Wonderful view of the secluded property from the porch. Sturgeon Bay is easily accessible. Breakfasts were prepared and put in a picnic basket to take back to the cabin, and each breakfast was amazing! We look forward to coming back in the future! Thanks for such an awesome and memorable stay!

Darrin and Brian's hospitality was WONDERFUL! When we arrived the Chanticleer Bed and Breakfast and the guest house were very very clean and beautiful. We stayed in the Evergreen Cabin it was better than the online site. Once you get there it is quiet, secluded, CLEAN, beautiful just what we needed. Breakfast was made every morning for us just alittle drive to pick it up from the Guesthouse LOVED IT! Just a beautiful beginning for our new life. WE WILL BE BACK AND TELL EVERYONE WE KNOW. Thanks Darrin and Brian!

More than monkey business
Disneynature's 'Monkey Kingdom' is its strongest yet
"Did you know monkeys could swim?" asks Tina Fey in Monkey Kingdom. While she's asking, a toque macaque (a two foot-long monkey with red-white fur and great hair) breast-strokes under the surface of a pond, yanking out lily pad flowers by her teeth and dragging them ashore to munch later.
Turns out monkeys can swim. And slide down telephone poles. And do the thing from Flashdance where you bring down a cascade of water on your head and shake it off in slow-motion.
All will happen in Monkey Kingdom, the eighth film in nine years from Disneynature, Disney's wildlife documentary outlet. > Read more.

A soldier based at Fort Wainwright in Fairbanks was killed last weekend in a surprise attack inside a U.S. base in Afghanistan by a man dressed in an Afghan soldier's uniform.
The U.S. Army in Alaska on Tuesday identified the American soldier, a member of the 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team, as Pfc. Dustin Paul Napier, 20, from London, Ky. He was shot Sunday afternoon in Qalat in Afghanistan's Zabul Province.
Two other 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team soldiers were wounded. All three were from the 1st Battalion, 24th Infantry Regiment.
The New York Times reported Sunday that the American soldiers were playing volleyball when the Afghan man, identified only as Shafiullah, approached and appeared to watch the game. He then opened fire on the Americans with his M-16 rifle. The Afghan was killed by another American soldier, the Times reported.
The Times quoted an Afghan provincial official as saying that Shafiullah was a soldier in the Afghanistan army. The official described him as a religious man who spent much of his time at a mosque near the base. American officials were investigating whether he was planted in the Afghan army by the Taliban.
Afghan army spokesman Gen. Mohammad Zahir Azimi said the reason for the attack was under investigation, The Associated Press reported.
"Right now, an investigation is going on to determine whether he really was a soldier or someone using an army uniform. And if he was a soldier, what caused the shooting," Asimi said.
The U.S. Army in Alaska said Napier joined up in July 2010 and arrived at Fort Wainwright that November.
He was the 19th soldier from the 4,000-member Stryker brigade to die since it began its one-year deployment to Afghanistan in April 2011.
In Kentucky, friends and teachers mourned Napier's death.
The Herald-Leader in Lexington said Napier had always wanted to be a soldier. He wore camouflage and combat boots nearly every day at South Laurel High School, and was the ROTC cadet commander there in his senior year. Principal David Cummins described Napier as a "model student."
Napier's father was also soldier and served for five years. He told the Herald-Leader that his son was born in an Army hospital and died in one.
Napier's friends were in shock.
"Woke up this morning and was hoping it was a bad dream," said Shawn Philpot, a close friend, according to WLEX-TV news in Lexington. "I just dropped my phone, collapsed on the floor. I don't think I've ever cried so hard in my life."
"We were a family," fellow ROTC member Megan Daugherty told WLEX. "He was our brother, and we lost a brother."
The television station and newspaper reported that Napier married Tabitha Sturgill of Eolia, Ky., in October and that his wife was living in Alaska.

->''The poor meme-ridden "comedy" website '''Uncyclopedia''' is the stuff of internet legend and infamy.

[[Wiki/{{Wikipedia}} The Other Wiki]]. No, the ''other'' Other Wiki.
AffectionateParody of Wiki/{{Wikipedia}} that would like to be to wikis what ''TheOnion'' is to newspapers. It advertises itself as the "content-free encyclopedia".
Uncyclopedia can be found both [[http://en.uncyclopedia.co/wiki/Main_Page here]] and [[http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/Main_Page here]], as the site executed a fork in January 2013, meaning that two versions of the site are now active. The "good" articles (so judged by Uncyclopedia users) are listed both [[http://en.uncyclopedia.co/wiki/Uncyclopedia:Best_of here]] and [[http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Uncyclopedia:Best_of here]].
The site's guidelines and rules are written in a truthful and non-satirical, but still humorous tone, the best example of which is "[[HypocriticalHumor How To Be Funny and Not Just Stupid]]"
International editions are notorious for sometimes [[{{Woolseyism}} creating new puns for their titles]]. [[http://desencyclopedie.wikia.com/wiki/Accueil Désencyclopedie]] ("discyclopedia"), the French version, has a pair of dice ("dés" in French) as logo, the Norwegian version is called [[http://ikkepedia.org/wiki/Hovedside Ikkepedia]] ("notpedia"), the Russian version is [[http://absurdopedia.net/ Absurdopedia]], the Finnish version is [[http://hikipedia.info/wiki/Etusivu Hikipedia]] ("sweatpedia"), the Spanish version is [[http://inciclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Portada Inciclopedia]] [[note]](It was [[http://www.frikipedia.es/friki/Portada Frikipedia]] until a certain Spanish copyright organization [[FrivolousLawsuit did a massive legal bullying upon it]], and its mantle was passed to the Inciclopedia. Nowadays both exist, but each one caters to different audiences.[[/note]] the and the Danish version is called "[[http://spademanns.wikia.com/wiki/Forside Spademanns Leksikon]]", a pun between respected Danish encyclopedia Lademanns Leksikon and "spade", Danish slang for "retard". In the Mandarin version, the name is still transliterated from Wikipedia, but the first word used here also means "fake". [[http://uncapaedia.org/wiki/Pagina_prima Necyclopaedia]], the [[AltumVidetur Latin version]], simply transposes the first two letters of "encyclopaedia"[[note]]archaic alternate spelling[[/note]] to form the Latin word ''ne'', "not." The Italian version is called [[http://nonciclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Pagina_principale Nonciclopedia]], basically the same pun as the original one. The Japanese version is called [[GratuitousEnglish Ansaikuropedia]], from the katakana rendering of Uncyclopedia and is notorious for such bashing of {{seiyuu}} and {{anime}} that in some occasions surpasses that of [[WretchedHive Encyclopedia Dramatica]]. The Hebrew version is called "[[http://eincyclopedia.wikia.com Eincyclopedia]]". The prefix "ein" means literally "there isn't", so the translation of the full name would be something like "there's-no-cyclopedia" or "Nocyclopedia" (to leave no doubts about the pun, the N letter is in the form that is only supposed to appear at the end of a word).

[[caption-width-right:201:Truly the [[ButtMonkey Butte Monkey]] of American towns! [[note]][[ItIsPronouncedTroPAY Actually pronounced "beaut"]], like the landform.[[/note]]]]
->"Make sure that all the C's are destroyed, so that the rascals can have no further means of abusing my name."
-->-- '''George ''Cockburn''''', Royal Navy Rear Admiral, destroying a U.S. newspaper during the burning of Washington, D.C. in UsefulNotes/TheWarOf1812
An {{Unfortunate Implication|s}} where a name of a character, person, or thing unintentionally offends.
If you ask someone their name, and they give you an answer that fits this {{trope}}, chances are you won't take them seriously. You will then find out that yes, that really is their name. No joke. [[HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood Or it may be a joke, but it still is seriously their name.]]
Characters under this trope are saddled with a name that realistically, you wouldn't expect a parent to name their kid or, for someone who's of a certain name, they'd choose to go by. This is the kind of name that gets kids made fun of in school -- which leads them to snark "NeverHeardThatOneBefore" when the jokes continue into adulthood.
Yet, it also happens to be TruthInTelevision, in many unfortunate cases. Generally, when imposed (fictionally or otherwise) on someone, this will lead to a WhoNamesTheirKidDude. RealJokeName is another possible outcome.
'''Comes in a variety of forms''':
* DoubleEntendre -- The name is one that fits into the DoubleEntendre {{trope}}. Eg. [[Film/{{Goldfinger}} Pussy Galore]]
* [[PunnyName Phrase Name]] -- Where the first name and/or last name may sound perfectly normal on its own, but put them together and they make a phrase that sounds like a joke, a trait you wouldn't want to be associated with, or sounds just plain stupid. Eg. Dusty Rhodes
* Pop Culture Name -- An example of this {{trope}} being the result of someone being named after [[OneMarioLimit a famous pop culture character]] whose name would ordinarily not enter consideration for use. Examples include [[{{Transformers}} Optimus Prime]], [[{{Superman}} Kal-El]], or {{ESPN}}. In this case, the name is already popular, but it isn't something you'd think to call someone under regular circumstances.
* Rhyming Names -- [[SublimeRhyme The first and last name rhyme with each other]].
* Unfortunate Coincidences -- Regular names that happen to match coincidentally with famous or infamous figures from real life.
* Unfortunate Meaning -- someone thought the name sounded nice, but apparently had ''no clue'' that the name they gave their child describes a disease or a woman's genitalia. (Many of these are urban legends or outright deliberately racist comments; usually, the more defensive the teller gets about these, the more likely he knows they're false.)
* HaveAGayOldTime -- Linguistic drift can hit names quicker than some folks would like. If a name later gets adopted for a sexual term, those who had the name before the drift run afoul of this (those named after, however, run into one of the above issues instead). Eg Dick, Fanny, Gaylord
* GenderBlenderName -- Many names (at least, in American English) were once relatively common and unremarkable as names for male children, but in recent years have become more common for girls, sometimes with minor spelling differences. In the real world there are male Stacys, Danas, Courtneys, Kellys, and Ashleys, and yet you only see those names in fiction on women (on the other hand, there are female Chrises, Pats, Lees, and Terrys and yet, they're only male names in fiction). Likewise, LeslieNielsen was a man. So someone with old-fashioned parents, or simply a desire to name a baby after an ancestor, might wind up with a "girly" name, such as Mary. Conversely, unfortunate women may end up with a "guy" name; though they are mostly more fortunate.
* FunWithAcronyms -- when the initials spell something silly or offensive.
* CrossCulturalKerfluffle -- The name is okay, maybe even good and auspicious in its own language, but doesn't travel well. Maybe it sounds like a curse or a [[WhosOnFirst pronoun]]; bonus points if it's [[SayMyName shouted dramatically]] in the work. Eg. Wang - "King" in Chinese, dick jokes galore in English.
* IronicName: The name that specifically means something is the exact opposite of your character.
This only goes for examples where the name is the character or person's ''legal given name'', or the name they most commonly go by. If someone uses it as a temporary alias, that's not this {{trope}}.
Will frequently intersect with PunnyName. When those with Unfortunate Names pronounce them counterintuitively (whether in an effort to save themselves the embarrassment or not), they'll feel compelled to inform people that ItIsPronouncedTroPAY.
Given human nature, quite a few fairly common names wind up as slang terms. Simply having one of these isn't really an example of this trope, unless it forms a particularly bad combination with the rest of the name.
If just the first or middle name is unfortunate, then it's an EmbarrassingFirstName or an EmbarrassingMiddleName. If a character ''chooses'' this name as a {{superhero}} or villain alias, it's AtrociousAlias. There's also NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast, where your name isn't so much embarrassing as deeply scary.
This trope is the opposite of AwesomeMcCoolname, while SpecialPersonNormalName lies in between these two.

* ''Fanfic/CalvinAndHobbesTheSeries'' has Dr. Brainstorm, whose ObviouslyEvil name is lampshaded:
--> '''Calvin:''' That's a dumb name. Why not something interesting? Like DoctorDoom, or Doctor Chaos, or [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs Doctor Chaotic Doom]]?
* [[FanFic/MyImmortal Ebony Darkness Dementia Raven Way]]. The author was presumably trying for an AwesomeMccoolname-cum-DarknessVonGothickname, but she ended up with a name which, translated to Layman's Terms, is "Black Black Senility Bird Direction".
* ''RainbowDoubleDashsLunaverse'' has its main character Trixie '''Lulamoon''', who always wishes to be addressed by her first name (unless she is drunk, then her second name). Apparently, there is a childhood rhyme that is the cause behind the name being unfortunate.
* In the ''FanFic/FalloutEquestria'' universe it is something of a tradition for named [[KnightTemplar Steel Rangers]] to have embarrassing food-based names such as Cottage Cheese and Butterbean.
* Golden Retriever, Twilight's assistant in ''Fanfic/TheDemesneOfTheReluctantTwilightSparkle''. [[spoiler:Twilight eventually grants her a literal license, "as a civil servant of the highest order", to kick the flank of anypony who teases her about her name within the bounds of the demesne.]]
* ''Gensokyo20XX'' has Ren's brother Baka and Ren could never really figure out why and always thought it was because he wasn't very bright, though he also did note that, according to his father, that was the name only he responded to and the name stuck. However, true to his name, he isn't really very bright.
[[folder: Film]]
* ''Film/AFineMess.'' Dennis' boss is named Mr. Wardell Flecken, a shortened version of ''Fleckenshicker''. Dennis asks, "Is that like ''Shickenflucker''?"
* ''Film/SouthlandTales'' The main character from Boxer Santaros' screenplay is called Jericho Cain. Now pronounce that quickly.
* Poor Lord Gastrous from ''WesternAnimation/BarbieMariposa'' was named after his ample stomach.
* ''Film/SherlockHolmes'': "Lord Blackwood" is one thing, but if you had to live with a name like "Lord Coward", you might have turned to villainy, too.
* [[Film/StarWars Emperor Palpatine.]] A respectable name: imperious, meaningful, and just plain cool. His first name is Sheev. And now you know why he was on LastNameBasis for thirty-seven years.
* The villain of ''Film/RedEye'' is named "[[JackTheRipper Jackson Rippner]]." [[MeaningfulName Fitting for Jackson]], to be sure, but who in their right mind would inflict such a name on their kid? (Apparently, he expressed similar views to them. Right before he killed them.)
[[folder:Religion and Mythology]]
* {{Invoked}} in TheBible--to demonstrate His wrath at idolatrous Israel, {{God}} has the prophet Hosea give his children symbolic names. The first son, Jezreel, is named for a valley where Israel's evil kings have shed blood, and where God promises they will be punished in turn; his daughter is named Lo-ruhamah, "not pitied," because God is through being merciful; and the youngest son is Lo-ammi, "not my people," to foretell that God will eventually send Israel into exile among the nations.
** Similarly, the prophet Isaiah named his younger son Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz, which means "spoil quickly, plunder speedily," again to foretell Judah's coming doom. His older brother Shear-Jashub ("a remnant shall return") lucked out and got a happy prophecy.
* Kopreus was an uncle of king Eurystheus of Mycene, who had the job of delivering Eurystheus' orders about what the next Labour was going to be to [[Characters/ClassicalMythology Herakles]]. "Kopreus" means "dung-heap".
* Also [[UranusIsShowing Uranus]], father of the Titans, [[CrossCulturalKerfluffle but not in the original language]].

[[GroinAttack Ironically, it was one of his private parts on the]] ''[[GroinAttack opposite]]'' [[GroinAttack side that got abused in a famous myth]].

* In Chinese Mythology, the Dragon King of the Eastern Sea can be transliterated as ''Dong Hai Long Wang''.
[[folder:Stand Up Comedy]]

[[folder:Real Life]]

* And then there is the wonderfully named town of Intercourse, Pennsylvania!
* A more comedic example would be Eromanga, Australia.
* [[AvertedTrope To avoid]] a mixture of this trope and {{Embarrassing Middle name}}, actress Olivia Jane [[DoubleEntendre Cockburn]] (despite her surname [[ItsPronouncedTroPay pronounced as "co-burn"]] ) chose the [[StageNames screen name]] {{Olivia Wilde}}.
* French long-distance runner Gaylord Silly.
* [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vecna_Technologies Vecna Technologies]] is a health care IT company. The name comes from the Czech word for "eternal", but those familiar with ''TabletopGames/DungeonsAndDragons'' will recognize it as the sobriquet of [[SorcerousOverlord the infamous wizard-king]] turned [[OurLichesAreDifferent lich]] turned [[AGodAmI god of secrets and dark magic]]. Hopefully the company won't get involved in [[ArtifactOfDoom limb or ocular replacement]].
* A small village in Austria has gained considerable popularity in the English-speaking world for its name: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fucking,_Austria Fucking]] (the German pronounciation rhymes with "booking"). This popularity let to the road sign at the entrance to the village being stolen repeatedly by tourists as souvenirs, which in turn resulted in taxes being raised to pay for replacement signs; Fucking has slighly more than 100 citizens, and each sign costs 300 Euro to replace. It went to far that in 2004, a vote was held on whether or not the village's name should be changed, but the citizens of Fucking voted against it.
* Creator/ImogenPoots, whose full name is Imogen Gay Poots.
* There's an extremely small company in Australia dealing in printed graphics called Trannys. "Tranny" is a (somewhat offensive) slang term for a {{Transsexual}}, commonly used in fetish porn. Their business website at www.trannys.com.au is a perfectly safe and normal website for a perfectly normal small business, but... let's just say you shouldn't remove the Australian country code suffix from it [[NotSafeForWork while in company]].

California drama cuts into speech coverage
Wednesday - 2/13/2013, 4:10pm EST
AP Television Writer
NEW YORK (AP) -- The California standoff involving fugitive Christopher Dorner shortened television's previews of President Obama's State of the Union address Tuesday but did not interrupt coverage of the speech.
CNN, Fox News Channel and MSNBC had set aside the hour before Obama spoke to discuss the annual Washington ritual but instead spent most of that time showing aerial footage of a cabin burning in southern California, marking the apparent end of Dorner's effort at targeting police officers -- even as information on what was actually happening was sketchy.
Fox at one point showed a split screen of the burning cabin on one side with anchor Bill O'Reilly talking to analyst Charles Krauthammer about Obama on the other.
MSNBC stuck with the California story the longest before turning its attention to Washington as Obama began making his way to the podium.
The State of the Union address is "still the big national story," MSNBC anchor Chris Matthews said. "But this one certainly challenged it. This was a saga."
ABC briefly mentioned the Dorner drama before shifting into a discussion of gun violence being on the minds of many attending Obama's speech. CNN's sister network, HLN, presented full-time coverage of the Dorner story when the main network presented the State of the Union.
Following the speech, CNN immediately shifted to Anderson Cooper reporting that Dorner had apparently died, before returning to Washington for a pundit panel on the State of the Union. ABC also briefly reported the Dorner story following the speech.
But no equivalency -- or split screen -- was given to the California story while Obama spoke on the cable news or broadcast networks.

Officials: US pledges $144M for Philippine defense
More News from Associated Press
MANILA, Philippines—Washington has pledged to provide $144 million in addition to a warship this year to help bolster the Philippines' territorial defense, officials said.
The Philippines has turned to the United States, a defense-treaty ally, and other Western countries to acquire warships, fighter jets and radar to strengthen its security amid a long-simmering territorial dispute with China and other countries in the West Philippine Sea (South China Sea).
The US has already provided one warship and approved the delivery of a second one this year.
Foreign Secretary Albert del Rosario confirmed the assistance late Wednesday and said he and other officials would visit Washington on April 30 to seek additional aid and discuss joint military exercises.

Payback vs. Pats? Could be foolhardy
"Then there's a bunch of us, it does mean something to. But if it would be the Patriots, I won't draw anything (like) we owe them one. I don't think that will be anywhere in my mind."
Ellis Hobbs, the New England defensive back whose conduct provoked Rivers to call him "the sorriest corner in the league," is now on injured reserve with the Philadelphia Eagles. Drayton Florence, Marlon McCree and Eric Parker — key contributors to Marty Schottenheimer's parting loss — have all moved on.
Yet Osgood, for one, still wants a piece of the Patriots.
"I want to play whoever's the best, who everybody considers the best," Osgood said. "(The Patriots) are one of those teams. They've won Super Bowl rings. That's the road you want. You want to say, 'We beat the Patriots and they were one of the best teams of the decade.' "
Pride and pragmatism are not always on the same page, of course. Though Osgood says his attitude reflects the general consensus of the Chargers' locker room, Rivers and Chargers head coach Norv Turner appear attuned to more technical matters.
Given the Chargers' season-long difficulty in stopping the run, it might be argued that the Jets are the more worrisome matchup. Reality and reputation do not always change on the same schedule.
"With all of the championships they've won, there is that bit of mystique," Chargers kicker Nate Kaeding said of New England. "But you've got to be able to have the strength of mind to look at it objectively.
"Know this is a new opportunity. They're a different team. We're a different team. In the end, at this time of year, if you don't play well, you're going to get beat whether a team's got a Belichick mystique or they don't. I think we're all seasoned enough that we understand that."
Turner says one of the strengths of his teams has been its ability to look inward amid external challenges, to have "not got caught up in who we're playing or where we're playing or what the problems were they presented to us."
Easily said, difficult to do. The difference between the New England Patriots and the New York Jets is the difference between pedigree and potential, between achievement and ambition, between NFL royalty and a young team on a roll.
The Jets are the flavor of the month, the Patriots the team of the decade.
"It's the same head coach and the same guy's at quarterback," Philip Rivers said. "There's turnover every year, but those two are constants. As long as that's the case, they've got a chance."
Until they're done, they're dangerous.

Mutant worms may be key to avoiding a hangover, study shows
Published on Jul 17, 2014 6:36 AM
AUSTIN, Texas (REUTERS) - Mutant worms generated at a laboratory at the University of Texas may provide a pathway to prevent people from becoming intoxicated after drinking alcohol, a study released on Wednesday said.
The research could lead to new drugs to help people going through alcohol withdrawal or even prevent them from feeling the effects of a night of hard drinking, the scientists who wrote the study said.
"This is the first example of altering a human alcohol target to prevent intoxication in an animal," said co-author Jon Pierce-Shimomura, an assistant professor in the university's College of Natural Sciences.
Pharmaceutical applications could include a "James Bond drug" that would help a spy drink his opponent under the table and walk away without being shaken or stirred, according to Dr Pierce-Shimomura.

I received this photo from Jef Dupain in the Congo Heartland. He says, "We are incorporating green practices into Lomako Center as much as possible. Because the Center is in the middle of the forest, it's important that we have low impact. Plus it saves cost too. Bringing fuel and batteries and things all the way out here is too expensive.
The Congo Heartland is buzzing in anticipation of the big opening of the Lomako Conservation Science Center (LCSC).
We are getting ready for the opening of the Lomako Conservation Science Centre, which is in the heart of the DRC. Many people wonder how one actually gets there. It's quite an adventure. So let me tell you…
You leave Kinshasa by plane, from either Ndolo airport or Ndjili international airport, destination : Basankusu in the Province of Equateur.
Here's more on my experience tracking the Nkuringo gorilla group in Uganda, which I blogged about earlier.
In November I went to the Congo Heartland in the DRC to help plan the opening of the new Lomako Conservation Science Center – an amazing research and conservation lab that is one of a kind: situated in the heart of the rainforest, 25 hours by boat from civilization, connected with satellite internet, and surrounded by the unique biodiversity
