  On names
I personally think that December would be a pretty cool given name. It would need a reciprocally cool last name to make the whole think work, but right there you have a pretty good start. In a weirder-than-usual-especially-for-me discussion at lunch today, it came to my attention that an associate of mine wants to name his kids Chaos (or maybe it's Kaos) and Havoc. The third member of our discourse proposed the name Asskhole, a name to be pronounced with a silent K, and which was bizarre enough to make us laugh nearly to the point of tears.

(Really, that name needs to be followed up with the first day of school, the teacher reading attendance, getting the name wrong, and the child putting up their hand and saying "It's s'posed to be pronounced "asshole"!)

Still, truth is stranger than fiction, and while December, Kaos, Havoc and Asskhole probably won't see the light of day on real people, Moxie CrimeFighter Jillette is real, and the daughter of the larger half of Penn and Teller. That kid's on the road to superheroing right from the get-go. I almost envy her.
