Let's say your a super celebrity mega-star. You've got an entourage, a private jet, a personal assistant to abuse -- the whole thing. But still, you feel like something is missing. Despite having naked iPhone pics of you leaked onto the Internet accidentally on purpose, you wonder if you'll ever leave a lasting mark on the world, something for future generations to remember you by once they stop airing that episode of TRL you hosted. Fret not, gentle celebrity, for etymologists, bartenders, stoners, and bloggers the world over are here to ensure your immortality via the random celebrity namesake. Let's have a look at a few of the more, uh, creative tributes to our most celebrated public figures, shall we?

    This was excellent.  Very clever indeed.  Were you an A student in Biology?  You were spot on with the Family…genus…species taxonomy:  Spongiforma squarepantsii is in the Nyah Nyah Nyah Nyah Nyah family, genus I Told You So.  
    I believe it’s in the class Agaricomycetes subclass MagicEraserae family Absorbsii.

    What?! No mention of the Mark Knopflersaur (Masiakasaurus knopfleri) or the John Cleese Lemur(Avahi cleesei)?  Those are my two favorites.

    They’re coming out with Tim Tebow bottled water, because it’s the only thing Jesus will let him drink.

      I think that would be Gatorade as Tim Tebow was a Gator and Gatorade was invented at University of Florida.  Not funny, just true.
