!!? Where are you?  When my baby brother was born 20 years ago this month, 
there was a baby girl in the nursery named "Placenta"!

My first database management job was the local dept. store bridal registry, 
and now I work with the alumnae list at UNC-Chapel Hill.  Nothing surprises 
me in the way of names since I encountered Aplanalp Planapla--the bride of 
the first couple I typed into the computer system instead of using an index 
card.
