Something I thought of about Hope's George.

I have known and know:

One Rabbit,

One Rooster,

One Pony,

One Goat,

One Human, (Hope's George)

And one abomination, (George Bush)

all called George.


George is a good name.... but why are more animals are called it than people I do not know....(not that I would call George Bush a person, I am sorry I have associated you with that Bastard)

The name is Greek, and means "Farmer"

George has 33 variant forms: Egor, Georas, Geordi, Geordie, Georg, Georges, Georgi, Georgie, Georgio, Georgios, Georgiy, Georgy, Gheorghe, Giorgi, Giorgio, Giorgios, Giorgius, Goran, Gyorgy, Gyuri, Igor, Jerzy, Jiri, Jorgan, Jorge, Jorgen, Jurgen, Jurek, Jurik, Yorick, Yorik, Yurik and Ygor.

The name "George" is also associated with Saint George, a knight who became the patron saint of England, who achieved legendary status through the medieval story of his struggle with a fire-breathing dragon, symbolic of the devil.

 George was a royal name in England, and in America, George Washington made it as popular.

Giorgio (jee-OR-jee-oh) is an Italian form.

Use of the Geordi variants may be influenced by the character Geordi LaForge on the TV series "Star Trek: The Next Generation". See also Joren, Keoki, and Yuri. Singer George Michael; and actor George Clooney. etc.

Sorry if you think this is weird.

I just was thinking about this while washing up.

Random things pop in to my mind while washing up. :)
