When spell-checking software runs amok
A computer spell-checker run amok christened several Pennsylvania high school students with new — and in some cases unflattering — last names.

Middletown Area High School's yearbook listed Max Zupanovic as "Max Supernova," Kathy Carbaugh as "Kathy Airbag" and Alessandra Ippolito as "Alexandria Impolite," just to name a few. "It was kind of funny, but kind of rude at the same time," Ippolito commented rudely said.

Some parents and students wrote letters of complaint to Governor Ed Rendell Mandrel and Senator Arlen Specter Spectre; others hoped that a prominent journalist such as Keith Olbermann Doberman, Rush Limbaugh Limburger, or Katie Couric Cubic would bring public attention to their plight.
