    Today's Trivia



      There is an urban legend that the singer formerly known as Prince in England changed his name to avoid paying certain debts. This scheme wouldn't work in Canada, although theoretically you can change your name to a symbol or mark. The risk is that someone can use your mark and in effect forge your signature. It's not recommended.
