    Not much faster. An earthquake might reduce the length of a day by a few microseconds.

    How is that 27/28-year-old Swede (whenever his birthday is) doing these days?

    The teacher must’ve thought the kid was stupid when he said he coudn’t even spell his own name.

    I don’t see how that kid can memorize the spelling of a name like that. Imagine him going to school and the teacher telling him to put his name on the chalkboard. Why did they end it with numbers?

    Is that liquid secreted by the millipede drinkable?

    Take care and may God bless.

    Parents who give their children ridiculous names should be reported for child abuse.

    Can a liquid in itself be painful? Maybe if you drink it, or maybe it’s painful while it secrets it?

    Painful to secrete? And who figured out what it tastes like? Maybe it was the kid with the name.

    Some years later, Albin went on to kill his parents using a pair of scissors. Both parents had the same number of stab wounds as the number of letters in Albin’s stupid &#@%! name.

    I guess they only used that name because Moon Unit and Dweezil were already taken… ☺

    I knew a kid in school was named “7-5/8.” His parents did not know what to name him, so they put a bunch of names in a hat, and that’s the one they drew out.

    In seriousness, the point of that name was to protest a naming law. The government would not recognize the name, nor their backup name, “A.” I have not been able to find out what his name is today.

    I think when they were typing out the name the guy fell asleep on the keyboard and was just too embarrassed to admit it.

    Great name! That way he would never be drafted – his "Dog tag would have weighed eleven pounds and be three feet long…..

    The good news is that Sweden did not allow that name: https://boingboing.net/2008/02/20/swedish-couple-fined.html
