Bomb Florida today! I cannot believe these! Cyreniti? It took me a minute to even figure out it was supposed to be Serenity.

Do I have a dirty mind, or do Depina and Cleturs sound like somebody's attempts to make genitalia into name? Wait: Jenna Talia! Oh god, I shouldn't've said it, I'm sure somebody somewhere will think it is soooo cute!!!

"Secretary of State Touchdown McCaffrey is in Teheran today to try and convince Iran's leaders to halt their nuclear weapons program." Nah, don't think so.

B'Lovid? Gag.

If we have a Secretary of State named Condoleeza today, why can't we have one named Touchdown in the future?

Between 1909 and 1913 the Secretary of State of the United States was Philander C. Knox.

I agree with you, but your joke would have come off better if you'd spelled Tehran correctly :-P

I've seen it spelled Teheran lots of times...

And my dictionary says either one is correct.

Really?

I've never, ever seen Teheran, in all of my reading / news browsing etc. It must be a transcription used in the US.

*looks stuff up* Wikipedia/Answers.com mentions Teheran but favours Tehran as its standard spelling. Fair enough.
