Random creepiness...
By chance, I just found out what is the new name the the infamous Blackwater private security company has now adopted. I knew that after the all the publicity surrounding the shooting of Iraqi civilians in 2007, in 2009 they had changed their name to "Xe Services LLC". They have changed their name again. Do you know what the new name is? Academi. Doesn't it sound like somebody's idea of a sick joke? It's kind of creepy, if you ask me.

Yes, some harmless think tank or something (although The Heritage Foundation is anything but harmless).
