Borrowed from Slashdot
Many colleges and business's tend to strip the last name down to 6
characters and add the first and last initial to either the beginning or end
to make up an e-mail address..
For example, Mary L. Ferguson = mlfergus or
fergusml. They are just now beginning to realize
the problems that may happen when you have a
large and diverse pool of people to choose from.
Add to that a large database of company/college
Acronyms and you have some very funny addresses.
Probably not funny to the individual involved, however:
