Unfortunatly named authors
(Via b3ta, obviously)

This is so incredibly silly, but I do love "Norman Conquest". Who the fuck would name their kid that? It's just too funny. Personally, though, I would have changed the only possibly ironic, most definitely irritating typo in the title. But I'm a pedant.

Hilarious! :)

What we need now is for NASCAR driver Dick Trickle to write an autobiography.

Baseball has had its share of amusing names over the years as well...

and from the world of music...

There is of course the father of Man U footballers (and I use the term loosely) Gary and Phil Neville: His christian name is Neville ...

If you like this you might like Bizarre Books. It's a book that just lists funny (real) book titles, but there's a chapter on appropriate (real) authors' names which includes: Shy Men, Sex, and Castrating Women by Claude Balls Lead the Way Ladies! by Mrs. M. A. Banger Every Other Inch a Methodist by Douglas J. Cock Some Examples of Wave Motion in Fluids by Gordon David Crapper Sexual Desire and Love by Eric Fuchs Common Truths from Queer Texts by Rev. Joseph Gay Vasectomy: The Male Sterilization Operation by Paul J. Gillette ... and so on.

There was a list in one of my reading books in the third grade. I always got a kick out of Over the Cliff by Hugo First.

I love how T. A. Vagina didn't even want to distract from his/her second name with any other words.
