I just discovered through wikipedia that there used to be a Commodore in the US Navy named Hull.

I immediately had to check to see if there'd ever been an Air Force officer named Fuselage.

(on a related note, it is my fervent hope that for Obama's first supreme court appointment, he manages to find another judge named after grillable meat to follow in the illustrious and delicious footsteps of Felix Frankfurter and Warren Burger.)

Hey, either my dad or my brother served on the USS Hull. There have been several USS Hulls, per wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Hull). Based on the years they were in commission, my guess is that my brother served on the last one in like 1975--because the previous one was decomissioned in 1944, and my dad wouldn't yet have been at sea.

Instantly upon reading I thought, wow, I bet there's a judge out there named Hamm.

Whadaya know:

There's also a very large port city in the UK called Hull. It's a hole. But, the longest suspension bridge for many years goes to Hull across the Humber river. We just crossed it a few days ago on our way to York. It's pretty cool. But Hull is simply awful.
