THE TRANSFORMED MAN: The Ohio-based national guardsman who changed his name to Optimus Prime in honor of the Transformers character now has a blog! On it, Mr. Prime thanks "the Transformers" community of 500,000 for bringing so much attention to his story. Somehow, I've gotta think that if a soldier had his name legally changed to "Papa Smurf," the reaction would be even more rapturous.
