MSN rocks...?

No, not really... but this does. When you go to MSN, and go to the Member Directory, it will ask for your Passport, or allow you to set one up. It then lets you choose a nickname. It will allow you to enter a nickname, or choose one of the four displayed random nicknames. Don't like the four on the screen? You can click a link to display four more. And four more, and so on, and so on...

Nothing unusual about that, other places have it. The thing that is unusual is the words in the random list. As a quick sample, here are some of the nicknames I was offered:

VulvalConch
JaundicedHippo
CoupledPlum
IndigentVermin
SorestBunion
HumpiestLocket
RemedialHobgoblin

Many others sounded like really bad band names. It's fun! It's exciting! And you can blame my wife for telling me about it!
