For serious? I don't know where I first learned about her; like I said, I always thought that the story of Sybil, "the woman with sixteen different personalities," was one of those cultural things that everyone just picked up. Hehe--I guess I'm wrong.

A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.

Yeah, the crazy Sybil is the first and only thing I think of. I would never ever be able to use this name for that reason. What a horrifying and tragic story!
Whoa, I don't think you could really call her crazy. She had a disorder, and learnt to deal with it.

Hmm, maybe I'm being too PC...
I guess I just have a thing about calling anybody crazy - whether or not someone has some kind of mental deficiency, doesn't necessarily mean they are any less sane than you or I, IMO.
