I guess I don't have much general knowledge! :-P I <B>have</B> heard that one, I guess I was in the mindset that you were telling a joke, and I was waiting for the punchline. <BR/><BR/>And good for you for taking your wife's name! :) I think I'm the last of my family with my last name, so at the least I want my first child to have it, though I wouldn't mind a future spouse to take it. I've joked with my boyfriend about it, but despite us being non-traditional in other ways, I don't think I'll convince him of this one.zandperlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01700239961953729095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16623883.post-1134840346870650242005-12-17T12:25:00.000-05:002005-12-17T12:25:00.000-05:00zandperl:Oh, I thought this was one of the easy on...zandperl:<BR/>Oh, I thought this was one of the easy ones. <BR/>OK, this is best answered by another question. Where geographically would you, under normal conditions, find polar bears and penguins?<BR/><BR/>Since I got this name (from my wife) I always have to spell it.
