A certain Bavarian, first name Adolf, originally had the surname Shicklegruber. I can't remember how it got changed to Hitler, but could you imagine even the German people taking Adolf Shicklegruber seriously? Especially with that funny mustache on top if it?

Why do the psycho mass murderers get all the cool names, anyway? Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin, Pol Pot, Saddam Hussein, Idi Amin (and did you notice that but for one of those, they all have two-syllable first and last names? Of course, so did Winston Churchill).

Then of course there's the flakey loser-type killers who always use their middle names--Lee Harvey Oswald, John Wayne Gacy, etc.

Jack &gt; Well there's Miroslav Satan, who plays wing for the Buffalo Sabres of the National Hockey league.

A hockey player named Satan? Works for me.

I believe it's pronounced 'Sha-tahn.'

In the Lake of Fire, God will torment the Devil for eternity by referring to him only as "Stanley".

And so shall the Devil torment you in turn by ignoring your pleas for being called "Douglas" and referring to you only as "Doug". So there.

So, are you claiming that this place is Hell?

No one named Stan is threatening?

Hmmm.

But Stan Musial threatened opposing pitchers every time he came to the plate.

Q: What if the devil's name was Stan instead of Satan?

A: Then Stan wouldn't exist.

...and we'd be saying "Satan the man!", except that it doesn't rhyme like "Stan the man". That would suck, I guess that would be...evil.

I have a clovenhoofed little guy named Stan(ley) sleeping in the hallway right now. And he can be a little devil if he doesn't get his chocky wafer when he gets up in the morning.
