I came across the following citation in a manuscript today, notable because all the authors share a surname:<\/p>\n
Huang X, Huang Y, Huang T, Huang W, Huang Z. Individual pulmonary vein imaging by transthoracic echocardiography: an inadequate traditional interpretation. Eur J Echocardiogr. <\/em>2008;9(5):655-660. <\/strong><\/p>\n I wonder what the odds of that are? To calculate them, we’d have to factor in the number of people in China [authors’ country of origin], the number of people named Huang in China, etc. Even if it’s a really common surname [which it is,<\/a> according to Wikipedia, which knows all and is always<\/em> accurate], that’s still unusual.<\/p>\n P.S. Huang\/Wong is pretty popular, ranking seventh after Wang\/Wong, Li\/Lee, Zhang\/Chang, Liu\/Lau, Chen\/Chan and Yang\/Yeung. Names are fascinating!<\/p>\n This entry was originally posted at http:\/\/modernwizard.dreamwidth.org\/1451841.html<\/a>.
