More worringly over 2,300 for 'Dr Nutjob'.</p> <p>Still, I would wager that Nutjob is not a recognised surname in any part of the world, and as such slightly detracts from the comedic value of the submission. The fact that the name was essentially at eye level when browsing the front page of newsbiscuit.com does slightly bring a tear to my eye.</p> <p>Yours sincerely,</p> <p>Bonjo Eohippus Nelson</p> <p>* I know that I submitted "Boutros Boutros Jones" in one of my stories. But two wrongs don't make a right, etc. </p>
