Yoda, Batman, Facebook is Not for You

Yoda, Batman, Facebook is Not for You: I thought this Wash Post article was funny. Turns out that if you have an interesting name like Yoda, Batman or Super, you'll have a tough time convincing Facebook to let you use your real name. And I had no idea there were people with the name Pancake and Six. How wild is that?

I actually knew a guy in a grad school named "Darth." On the first day of class he said, "Hey my name is Darth, and yes my parents are big Star Wars fans."
