links, commentary, and pointless drivel.
Via Hiker-- it seems an Ohio national guardsman has changed his name to "Optimus Prime". It's on all his official documents, including his military ID and callup papers for when he got sent to Iraq for the present war.
My favorite part, though, is this:
"I got a letter from a general at the Pentagon when the name change went through and he says it was great to have the employ of the commander of the Autobots in the National Guard."
I hear tell that in the ranks above Colonel, promotions owe as much to "people skills" as to merit. If that means generals have this kind of sense of humor, I think that's no bad thing.
