Kolkata, India - A 15-year-old girl from eastern India hanged herself in response to the execution of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, police and family members said on Thursday.

"She said they had hanged a patriot. We didn't take her seriously when she told us that she wanted to feel the pain Saddam did during the execution," the girl's father, Manmohan Karmakar, told AFP by phone from the town of Kharda.

He said his daughter, called Moon Moon, had become extremely depressed after watching Saddam's execution on television.

"She kept watching the scene over and again and didn't take food on Saturday and Sunday to protest the hanging," he said.

Police superintendent Pravin Kumar confirmed the suicide, saying the girl had strung herself up from a ceiling fan and was found dead early on Wednesday.

The communist-ruled state of West Bengal has condemned Saturday's execution of Saddam, with thousands of people taking to the streets.

I went to high school with a Nester B. Nester. That's what we called him. Never Nester, or NN, or Nester(squared), etc. Always Nester B. Nester. "Hey Nester B. Nester, how are ya, man?"

I have always found it odd that the one person in ZZ Top with the last name "Beard" is the one who doesn't have one...

Another kid in my highschool (I'm not making this stuff up) was named Richard Long. He liked to go by Rich, but behind his back we called him Dick.

A person my parents went to church with the last name Coffee named their son Luke Warren. :)

I went to school with a girl named Dorcus Feeling. She was a bulldyke though, so no one ever teased her.

Well, we have a politician in NH with the name Dick Swett. Personally, I would go by Richard, or Rick but not him. I could never put a bumper sticker on my car saying "Vote for Dick Swett"
