I thought people might enjoy this article:

I wonder what happened to Sally Stinks and Betty Krapps, who always used to top these lists. Or was it Sally Stinks who changed her name to Betty Stinks because she didn't like "Sally"?

I note that the recipients of this batch find that the joke wears thin after the first few million times. I'd call this mostly child abuse rather than misfortune.
