361

well, well, well.

five provocative statements; five distinct responses.

one of you has a ticket for the bullet train towards optimal thyroid function, dont you?

without further ado:

barack hussein obama, illinois' junior senator, was born in honolulu, hawaii on august 4th, 1961. hussein is a common arabic name which, depending on your interpretation, translates into "good" or "handsome."

perhaps this doesnt surprise you as saddam was certainly one sexy motherfucker.

harry truman, the thirty-third president of the united states, was given the middle name "s" in order to honor both shipp truman and solomon young, his grandfathers.

according to the scholars at wikipedia, truman didnt give a shit as to whether or not a period was placed after the initial.

do you?

penn fraser jillette, the 6'6'' talking half of the illusionist duo penn and teller, has two children. moxie CrimeFighter jillette was born june 3rd, 2005; moxie has a younger brother named zolten penn jillette.

penn's wife, emily zolten, doesnt have a middle name.

michael j. fox was born michael andrew fox in alberta, canada in 1961. he didnt want to use the name michael a. fox in order to preclude a situation in which teen magazines and related media might print such nauseating quips as "michael, a fox!" on their covers. additionally, those of us who are privy to canadian humor might appreciate the significance of "a" being emphatically pronounced "eh?"

think aboot strange brew, hoser.

lest you think i would leave you in the dark, fox chose the middle initial "j" as an homage to actor michael j. pollard.



and then there was one:

chevy chase is a stage name; the 6'4'' actor and original cast member of saturday night live was born cornelius crane chase in october of 1943. while movies such as caddyshack, fletch and the national lampoon's vacation films propelled chevy chase into mega-stardom, cornelius is perhaps most well known for the smash hit "chevy chase show" which experienced an unprecedented five-week run in 1992.

ahem.

now!

since chevy chase's middle name is "crane," the statement "chevy chase's middle name is cornelius" is false.

congratulations, jada.


you win a point.
