  1. Okay so what does all this mean? When you post something, be sure to let people know what direction this information is going. If you don't it really means nothing to the person reading it.

  2. "Yannis Anastassakis" sound like a female name. Was he born as a female? This sounds weird:

    "He had his daughter, Jennifer Aniston, with his first wife, Nancy Dow (from whom he was later divorced), and also has a son, Alexander, from his second wife, Sherry Rooney Aniston. His best friend was the late actor Telly Savalas."

    I am sorry but Nacy Dow look like she was born as a intersexual. I can understand a person changing their last name but to change your first and last name?

  3. Celebrity is the new law: John Aniston (born Yannis Anastassakis. It's impossible, for someone to change their first and last name? If he can do it, then i believe those post about Beyonce Knowles family and the name changes!

  4. Yes, you can change both first and last name.

    Yanni/Yannis is "John" in Greek, so he pretty much kept his first name.

  7. Hermaphrodites and Greeks go together like conjoined twins. They base their ENTIRE culture off of it. I would not be surprised if ole Jennifer was inbred.
    I don't believe she put off having Brad Pitts kids for a career. She didn't have kids probably because she couldn't!
    Google Jennifer Aniston and Chastity Bono! They were good friends dating waaay back. I wonder what they had in common???? Hmmmmmmm

  9. @11:50...The Geeks LOVE incest! All of the beasts in their Greek mythology are really stories about incest resulting in hocus pocus, monsters and a whole bunch of other nonsense thrown in to make it all seem "magical and mystical"
    They even teach that stuff in school!!!
