Where do I begin?

CHARLESTON, W.VA. . David Harrah thought he had time for coffee before racing his pregnant wife and their eight children 25 kilometres to the hospital. Sherry Harrah gave birth shortly before dawn Tuesday to the couple's ninth child inside the family's new Ford Expedition alongside U.S. 119 in front of a Toys 'R' Us.

His wife said: “he had to make coffee and he wanted to wait until 6:30 to get the kids on the bus. I kept telling him, ‘We need to go.'”

Ms. Harrah and her husband, who is a stay-at-home dad, named their 5-pound, 10-ounce baby girl Carlee, “after the car.” (Globe & Mail)

9 kids? I could make a joke about them living in West Virginia but I won’t.

Carlee? Frankly, given how much Americans love their automobiles, I’m surprised the whole country is filled with kids named after cars. How come the US isn't full of kids named Chevy and Bronco and Dodge?

You know, this creates a whole new batch of Harveyporn names:

Jaguar Jones, Subaru Jackson, Toyota Olivera, Viper MacPhee, Cobra Sinclair...

Actually, these names sound more like action heroes.
