Here's a funny little story I laughed at which probably none of you will: A Romanian tabloid printed a story that a couple named their baby "Yahoo" because they had met at a Yahoo dating service web page. It turned out this was just a prank.
What I laughed at was the East European directness of the editor-in-chief:

"It was the reporter's child's birth certificate, which he modified," said Simona Ionescu, Libertatea's deputy editor-in-chief. "We fired him."

:-) Yeah, I know, I have weird humor. I just love the care-free sound of "We fired him".
She then goes on to say: "If it were real, it would have been a good story indeed".

But it wasn't...so [Russian accent]we fired him[/Russian accent]. :D
