The Los Angeles Times calls him “Kadafi,” the Washington Post “Gaddafi,” the U.S. State Department “Qadhafi” the New York Times “Quadafi” and, of course, as we have extensively reported, the Irish Times likes to call him Gadafy. A  2009 ABCNews.com story found 112 different ways to render the Libyan leader’s last name in the Latin alphabet.

Now, among documents discovered by rebels at the Libyan leader’s compound, the passport of eldest son Mohammed Qadaffi shows the family-approved spelling for his father’s name and one we hadn’t seen before: Gathafi.

The passport also shows Mohammed’s title as “Son of the Leader of the Revolution,” a reference to his father’s preferred title as head of state.

The Schwarzenegger Trilogy: three short hand-drawn, highlighter-coloured films by visual artists Jimmy Thompson and Harry McGowan celebrating the Schwarzenegger ‘oeuvre’

The first video ‘5 4 3 2…’ is a series of continuous hollywood explosions edited into a simple beat.

The second ‘Galleria’ is a cut from Terminator 2 which is one of my favorite scenes from any movie.

The third ‘come on… get down’ is a original gangsta rap with lyrics provided by Arnold himself and music created by Harry McGowan
