Hi Steve,
There's an interesting news from Reuters
(January 13, 2005.) - Search "Lucian Yahoo".
**************************************************
BUCHAREST (Reuters) - A Romanian couple named their
son Yahoo as a sign of gratitude for meeting over
the Internet, a Bucharest newspaper said Thursday.
Daily Libertatea said Cornelia and Nonu Dragoman,
both from Transylvania, met and decided they were
meant for each other following a three-month
relationship over the net.
They married and had a baby this Christmas, whom
they decided to name after one of the worldwide
web's most popular portals. "We named him Lucian
Yahoo after my father and the net, the main beacon
of my life," Cornelia Dragoman was quoted as
saying.
**************************************************
Bye.
Suyono
PS: Eleven days later, an update said that it was
a hoax.
