Since history began, the Chinese believed in the significance of one's
name. They developed a comprehensive system of naming children because they
believed a name could influence one's destiny.

Most Western cultures do not believe in such superstition. Whether you
believe it or not, however, there are many eery coincidences. A good example
is Lee Iacocca, whose name IACOCCA stands for "I Am Chairman of Chrysler
Corporation of America."

Coincidence? Consider the following:

BUSH stands for "Beat Up Saddam Hussein!"

CLINTON stands for "Call Lewinsky, I Need The Oral Now!"

However, no one can beat this naming casualty:

OSAMA stands for "Oh, Shit, American Missiles Again!"
