lollipop_monkey Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 So weird! Apparently this is common knowledge in the Spanish speaking world. Check it out: Google Search Results I wonder if it's his mum's maiden name or something, as LadyGodiva guessed. Unless someone who speaks Spanish better than I do happens to see an explanation among those results? Hrm. You learn something new every day!
