senoritafishThere is a television in the breakroom which people, usually the support staff, turn on to watch the news during lunch. Biologists seldom turn it on for some reason, but when it's on we watch like the rest of the TV addicted masses we are.
Yesterday, along with the stories of mayhem and car chases and accidents, there was a little story of how an Orange County neighborhood was getting a new playground a year after the previous equipment had been badly vandalized. The reported interviewed a few neighborhood children who were excited about their park opening up again. The first little boy's name was shown on the screen as Dean Martin R****. I didn't think much of it until the reporter announced his two little sisters' names as well.
IT and I just looked at each other in disbelief. They were Grace Kelly R****, and Sophia Loren R****.
I shit you not.
