There's an interesting little website I found the other day, something that's more or less useless but fun nonetheless to try. Ever wonder how many people have your first name? Your last name? Both? Well, this is a way you can find out.You'd be surprised to find out just how many people share your name... or how many don't. Link below:

Also, here's another link to a site where you can find out the history and meaning of your name. Pretty freakin' sweet, eh?

Funkyality- what else comes to mind when you think of a funky reality? Here you can find a blog full to bursting with all manner of random info & pics, bizarre bizarreness and just plain miscellaneous stuff. Updated (hopefully) regularly, it's packed with whatever else that comes to mind. Welcome to the funkiest reality.
