  1. God help anyone who takes marriage advice from religious fanatic, and end-times zealot LaHaye.

  2. A couple here in Wellington,New Zealand tried to name their child “4Real”, but it was not accepted by the government.

    Instead, they went with “Superman” officially, but ‘in protest’ continue to call the child “4Real”. *sigh*
