The 22-year-old man from Dunedin, New Zealand lost a poker bet with his friends. The punishment? Change his name. According to his friends though, they didn't think he'd actually do it.

He did.

The bet actually happened in 2010 as did the legal name change, but the man only found out about it when he had to renew his passport recently. When he received his new passport, there was his new name, in all it's legal glory:


Mr. Frostnova is now the most recent entry into a long list of strange name submissions that have appeared in New Zealand's official registry. Other names include Majesty, King, Knight, Princess, Justice, Anal, V8, 89, Mafia No Fear, Lucifer, full stop and *. Yep, just a simple asterisk as a first name.

What's with the Diablo II, you ask? Well, that would be a sorceress casting none other than her level 6 spell, Frost Nova.

Lulzsec hacks PBS Newshour, Gets My Hopes Up:

In response to a recent smear story on Wikileaks, Lulzsec hacked the PBS Newshour website and posted an article about Tupac being alive and well in New Zealand. Not only did they make my heart flutter with possibility, but also posted a list of PBS admin usernames and passwords.

TL;DR: They Fluttershy-ed that Cheerilee up.
