RIP ringo
*sighs while rolling eyes* Walrian…
But in all seriousness that was a bit very alarming

No context even… Also, if that were true, I’d like to think it wouldn’t be announced in the Derail thread of all places…
(also, maybe I’m just being slow, but why does Ringo=apple?)

Ringo is the Japanese for
John claims the only Beatle Yoko knew before she met him was Ringo because of his name.

^The origin behind Apple’s name is they wanted something that was completely new, a fresh first in the business world, (as they wanted Apple to be an-everything-goes business which is no wonder why it massively failed). As we all know when you open a ‘Baby’s First Word’ book the first entry is always:
A is for Apple
The Ringo=Apple coincidence made them very happy when they found out as it tied up with the whole Apple Corps message.

I think it was just a coincidence, heard that in an interview somewhere? Anyway, given the choice, I don’t think they would name their company after Ringo.

^Hey if I could found a company, I would happily name it Ringo Ltd. He deserves it, our slogan would be ‘No autographs, peace and love <3’

From a marketing standpoint though that would be disastrous. Whenever someone went to google your company they’d just get results about Ringo and your company would be lost under pages of Ringo.
Then again, that would give Ringo more publicity, so I say go for it. Screw the marketing standpoint!

I can have it registered as Ringo Ltd. can always trade under a different name 😉

You’d definitely need way more emojis at the end of that slogan.

Normally I love kahoots, but time limits + math problems + a class full of really smart people – a calculator = a very bad score for me. I actually started off pretty good but then the questions kept getting harder and I had to start guessing… but hey at least I didn’t get last? :/

Oh no! We don’t do kahoots in math because all the kids just click really fast and don’t think… i did i kahoot type thing where the class was in teams (my name was roger singular water) and we won.

That’s more or less what happened with us, everyone just guessed and got everything wrong. Some of the questions weren’t even about math (one was about PF and @Beatlebug came to mind 😉 ) but teams are fun. We didn’t get to pick names though, we had to use our real ones I normally name myself after a Greek god or goddess.

The teachers only let us pick names sometimes and it usually ends in chaos.
You didn’t think of me? I literally just made a PF reference!
