    Talking If men wore their mother's surname... interesting!

    This was taken from a polish calendar with messages on the back of each date. Really funny and interesting what it said:


    If men wore their mother's surname, they would be called:


    Shakespeare William Arden
    Goethe Johann Wolfgang Textor
    Mozart Wolfgang Amadeus Pertl
    Napoleon Bonaparte Napoleon Ramolino
    Beethoven Ludwig Keverich
    Marks Karl Pressburg
    Churchhill Winston Jerome
    Einstein Albert Koch
    Hemingway Ernest Hall
    Arnold Schwarzenegger Arnold Jedrny (means not fat but muscled)
    Osama bin Laden Osama Ghanem
    Charlie Chaplin Charlie Hill

    Very interesting! LOL And don't forget that Mozart changed his middle name from the original German. If he kept that name, and used his mother's maiden name, then he'd be Wolfgang Gottlieb Pertl.
