73. According to an old Guiness Book of World Records...
...the longest name in history was (obviously) a Puritan one: "If Christ Had Not Died For Thee Thou Wouldst Have Been Damned Barebones." It is said that the recipient of that name was known thereafter as "Damned Barebones."

For the uninitiated, "randy" in the UK means "horny", in the "aroused" sense..........

Hence the hilarity whenever an American introduces himself with, "Hi, I'm Randy....."
