Non-sequiter ... but Sooooo what?

I'm reading an article in Time Mag on promising avenues toward a vaccine for CANCER. Pretty cool. The research is being done primarily, and separately, by two doctors. And I pretty much ignore their names because the first one is unpronounceable ... er, Dr. Douglas Schwartzentruber.

But the names come up so often in the piece that I start pronouncing them.

The second doctors name is much simpler. He's the other doc that's going to radically cure cancer. But the irony of his name doesn't hit me till I start pronouncing it. He is Dr. Larry Kwak.

You can't make this stuff up.
