@hewer_of_code I was very confused when I first heard of the World Wildlife Fund.

@hewer_of_code Ooo wow!

Right, so in my case it isn't being wrong age, but wrong part of the world too.

@anne_twain @anyone_can_whistle There was a trademark case in the early 2000s. The conservationists won, which is why the other lot are now called World Wrestling Entertainment.
