It was pointed out to me that last night that yesterday was President's Day... It's funny how minor holidays (and sometimes Mondays in general) slip by without notice when you are unemployed.
The 2000 U.S. census counted over 163,000 people with the last name of Washington, 90% of whom were black, a far higher percentage than any other name. Washington had a shit ton of slaves, but experts are saying the name probably became more popular after the Civil War when many former slaves adopted the surname. If I got to pick my own name I think I would pick something that reflected who I am as a person... How about Bigcock? Patrick Bigcock... I like the sound of it.
