I didn't know what a refusenik was, so refusenik Dymshits confused me a little. And did he refuse anything, I don't know...

I wish Dymshits would've had Alzheimer's and walked away from a nursing home so news bulletin would say 'if you have any information on the whereabouts of Dymshits contact authorities

Is that their birth certificate name or stage (artistic) name? We all have stage names at times, as this site indicates. If that's their given name it's a winner

Rex Reason, Star of Sci-Fi Classic 'This Island Earth,' Dies at 86 - Contrary to what one might think, Rex Reason was his birth name, not one dreamed up by a Hollywood executive. Universal Pictures, in fact, had billed him as “Bart Roberts” in a couple of films before he insisted on being credited with his real name.

In the town that I went to highschool in, there's a menswear store, called Rex Cox, names after its founder. Also, there's, I think she was a news women, up here, named Penny Pretty.

Sad it isn't true, but with all the Phuc's and Phat's etc in thne Vietnamese community I thought it was believable enough. Hope it gave someone a laugh anyway.

I was just reading about the Duke & Duchess of Cambridge who are shortly off on a visit to Bhutan.

 

Whilst on the trip they will meet the country's Dragon King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck and the glamorous Queen Jetsun Pema, dubbed the "William and Kate" of the Himalayas.

A chap named Wayne King once got into trouble for performing lewd acts on the beach... http://www.examiner.com.au/story/476713/man-fined-for-beach-breach/

And with a name like that, who could possibly suspect some kind of hoax. :S

 

O ye of little faith, I cross-checked it against some other sources. It is legit.
