> That’s just within the NWA. Look at the enormous number of people who have claimed the title of a wrestling World Heavyweight Championship in different organizations all at the same time.

Oh, the world championship is a whole other can of worms. The WWE, WCW, AWA, and TNA/Impact world championships are all offshoots of the NWA world championship (which is itself still active), and that title itself is a successor of Georg Hackenschmidt’s original world championship of 1908. You’ve also got AEW, NJPW, ROH, and CZW calling their top title the world chamionship, and probably several defunct promotions with a title by that name.

> Not actually on the ballot, but on California’s voter registration forms, one of the options you can choose for your party affiliation is the American Independent party. […] It’s widely believed that the vast majority of the people who are registered under this party checked that box by mistake, thinking they were registering as independent voters, as in no party affiliation.

The same thing happened up here in Oregon. A few years ago, a party named itself the Independent Party. They actually got enough members to qualify for a primary election. That requires something like 5 to 10 % of all voters. They weren’t far right, but rather centrist, I think. I don’t know if they still have enough for that; I expect they lost a bunch when people got their primary ballot and were surprised to be able to vote for this unknown party, rather than just judges and local officials that unaffiliated voters usually get.

Here in Canada, we have the Marxist-Leninists and the Communists. It is my understanding that they were all Communists once, until a faction broke away over some petty squabble, and became the Marxist-Leninists. As far as I am aware, they both stand for the same basic things, but differ in the details.

At any rate, it doesn’t really matter. Neither party is a serious contender to form a government. Between the two of them in our last federal election, they got roughly 9200 votes, out of 17 million votes cast.

There are “Christian Brethren” and “Brethren in Christ”, both of them kinds of Brethren in the Pennsylvania Dutch religions other than Amish and Mennonite.

Weren’t there long distance service providers with names like “I Don’t Care” and “Doesn’t Matter”, who got their customers by people answering the question “Which service provider would you like to use” when making long distance calls (maybe from payphone)?
