Maybe you know that David Bowie was born David Jones, or that the St. Louis Cardinals were previously the St. Louis Browns, Brown Stockings, and Perfectos, but did you know that PayPal was originally called Confinity, or that Yahoo was briefly named “Jerry and David’s Guide to the World Wide Web”?

Anyway, you know the drill: Read questions; answer questions; tell your friends; allow to dry overnight in warm, clean spot; repeat.
