Quote from: Rev. Powell on Today at 08:15:16 AMLee, at least, is a very common male middle name in the South. (They say it's to honor Robert E. Lee.)

right ok. interesting. that could account for some...

btw another middle name that was cropping up a fair bit was DeWayne... not 'Dwayne' or 'Duane'. not sure I've even encountered 'DeWayne' as a name before? (I didn't include those in with the regular 'Wayne's I was finding).

China has asked exporters to limit exports of fertiliser. Expect your food bills to go up as a result on top of the pressure from oil price increases.

If the price of oil hits $150 a barrel, don't be surprised if a global recession is the result.

Hope if you your poor, you don't mind going hungry the way things are heading.

Lee, at least, is a very common male middle name in the South. (They say it's to honor Robert E. Lee.) The others are more statistically quirky.

arf.... :bouncegiggle:


also I've just remembered, Chucky from CHILD'S PLAY is possessed by the ghost of a (fictional) serial killer called Charles Lee Ray  :buggedout:

edit - ok in the film Charles Lee Ray wasn't executed on death row, but was shot by a police officer... still a bit weird

I was randomly wiki trawling yesterday, and got onto searching through 'people executed in the USA' stats since 1990.

wiki has the full names of every person executed, per year.

I noticed something... the instance of the executees middle name being either LEE, RAY, WAYNE, or EUGENE seems ridiculously disproportionate... there is no year from 1990 to 2026 where at least one executed guy doesn't have one of these as a middle name. but usually there's a few of each.

e.g., of the 74 guys executed in 1997, there were 7 Lee's, 5 Wayne's, 3 Eugene's, and 2 Ray's, as middle names..

in 1999, twelve of the 98 guys executed had the middle name 'Lee'

- these names hardly ever cropped up as first names, either. just middle names

mysterious or explainable?  :question:

TORQUE (2004)

Some bikers don't like some other bikers, and so the bikers fight those bikers. Ice Cube is a biker.

kind of movie that if made in 1974 would probably be loadsa fun. sadly it's trapped in the era of flashy shallow early 2000s throwaway fluff, where even things like a guy stepping on a bug or pointing at a wall apparently requires some kind of CGI enhancement.

Everything also looks like it's filmed with a bright neon day-glo filter. my eyes
