Funny names
Compiled by The Sun:
Update: This just in: 2 twins from Australia: their middle name is "Danger" - Link
A - A Chinese couple named their son @ which in Chinese is pronounced 'ai ta' meaning 'love him'.The whole A-Z

Alby, the skateboarding owl
An O RLY owl that really likes it on the skateboard. Skateboarding owl is a hit:
Brian Maxted, 73, who runs Folkestone Owl Sanctuary, said he discovered Alby's unusual talent during a trip to the local shopping centre.
He said: "I often take some owls into town to try and get some donations from shoppers.
"I had the owls out one day last week and a young lad stopped to look at them.
"He put down his skateboard and Alby, who'd been fast asleep, saw it and jumped on.
"Someone pulled it along the ground and he loved it so much, we had to get him one of his own."
Alby, who is 13, has now developed his technique, which involves him swooping onto the board, using the momentum from his flight to push him along.
Battlefield Earth - the suckiest movie ever
Battlefield Earth got a Razzie for "Worst Movie of the Decade" this week and the script writer, J.D. Shapiro, publicly apologized for writing it:
Let me start by apologizing to anyone who went to see "Battlefield Earth."Read the whole thing
It wasn't as I intended -- promise. No one sets out to make a train wreck. Actually, comparing it to a train wreck isn't really fair to train wrecks, because people actually want to watch those.
Now, looking back at the movie with fresh eyes, I can't help but be strangely proud of it. Because out of all the sucky movies, mine is the suckiest.
Man exceeds breathalyser's limit
A driver stopped by Northland police had drunk so much his alcohol level exceeded the breathalyser's maximum range.Link
The driver, in his 50s, was spotted swerving back and forth over the centre-line of the road north of Whangarei earlier this year, the Northern Advocate reported.
The breathalyser was unable to give a reading because it only measured blood alcohol levels up to 2000mcg.
The man was blood tested, recording 2290mcg, nearly six times over the legal limit.
