The Name Game
Too many people can't spell my last name. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out that there's no “e” in Pirillo. Or maybe you do? From this point forward, I'll only answer to Chris 3.14rillo. It's so… mathematic. I oughta get my driver's license changed to reflect this moniker transmogrification. Pirilleaux would undoubtedly be the French derivative, but I'm a full-blooded Italian. C is the speed of light, but some muppet once said that C is for cookie. Coincidence? Consider this: why do you think these circular pastries disappear into thin air whenever you put them in the jar? It's not a simple container. Oh no, it's an interdimensional transportation device. Think about it. Seriously.

I still think P.Lo should be your new name.
Then in 2 years you can rename yourself “P Diddlo”

I know what you mean about the cookies man. When they start disappearing, my appetite goes down. Is this normal? I think there may be some sort of connection here.

Anyone that shares my initials is a-ok in my book. ;)
I have a clear cookie jar, which increases the factor of disappearance by twofold. I should get one that is black and airtight… like my soul.

My last name is one of the most common in this country and I rarely see it spelt right by anyone else…Shafiq becomes Shafik or Syafiq or Syafik or worse still SHAFIO!!!! :P

Don't feel to bad Chris, my first AND last names get mispelled/mispronounced all the time. Sean is pronounced as “seen” most of the time, and mispelled as Shawn. Garrett get spelled with out either one R, one T, or both.

I understand where you're coming from too Chris, my last name gets misspelled and mispronounced so much it's not funny. I had an english teacher once insist I was spelling my last name wrong because of the I before E rule and I had to explain to this teacher that my last name is a German last name and it does not follow that rule.

My last name is either Polish or Ukrainian. I'm not sure which. But it's been a real bitch getting people to my website when my domain name is my last name. Maybe I should have registered thepolishguy.com or something.

Also, according to your theory, if C is the speed of light, and C is also a cookie, then by associative properties a cookie is the speed of light. It would therefore be possible to calculate the relative bandwidth provided by a cookie given that a cookie travels approximately 186,000 miles/second in a vacuum.
Okay, I'm geeking out.

I've met some people that don't know how to pronounce my name correctly. To cover things up, they came up with “What you say your name was again?”. And Syafiq – it's just a matter of somebody giving you a piece of paper and pen; that will sort out the problem…
Ppl often misspell my name by putting an extra A. Wish it is a grade… phew..

Amazing how so many last names sound like they're spelled and are spelled like they sound, yet people still can't get them right. Pirillo seems pretty obvious to me. You'd think my last name wouldn't be a problem, but I've become used to the fact that I have “several” last names…Tinker, Fincher, Lincher, Pincher.
I wonder if Gorbechev wasn't a political figure what he'd be called.
