...history. But there was more than Pam and Tommy's honeymoon in Deters' shopping cart. "Pick up Rocco or whatever the hell that thing was, and you'll understand," Deters says. The tape, Rocco More than Ever, includes hair pulling, implied urination and a woman crawling around in pig feces, snorting. Flynt may not find that obscene, but he's a guy who decorated his driveway with a statue of an angel urinating into the mouth of a frog.

...hated your name? Apparently some people have. A recently published study by researchers at the University of California in San Diego has suggested that people with "cooler" initials--such as ACE, JOY, WOW or GOD--might actually live longer than people with more negative ones, like BUM, UGH, ILL, PIG, ASS or DED.
