This is your daily dose of WTF...

Barack Obama's visit to Kenya has left a lasting impression on the people, so much so that parents are naming their children after the US President. There's been a few Baracks and Michelles (after the First lady) born in recent days, but probably the most bizarre name has been inspired not by Barrack Obama, but by his plane. "AirForceOne Barack Obama" has been born to happy mother Lucy Akinyi Okoth from Kogelo, Kenya which is the ancestral home of the US President. https://twitter.com/tomdisco/status/625346154130182145 Another mother named Lucy Atieno, simply named her child "AirForce One". “I have been told that it is the best aeroplane because it carries a very powerful leader of America who is also a Kenyan,” she said. 200-14 Hat-tip to The Rakyat Post.
