    I'd like to see the break down by name though. For instance, it would be interesting to see what percentage of them were named "D. McBride", "G. W. Bush", "B. Gates", "A. Coward", etc.

    It should be noted that of the 838, an astounding 773 had the name Hugh Jass, Phil McCrackin, Mike Hunt, Ben Dover, or Hugh Janus.
