Good Ol' Kathy Airbag

A computer spell-checker run amok christened several Pennsylvania high school students with new, and in some cases unflattering, last names.

Middletown Area High School's yearbook listed Max Zupanovic as "Max Supernova," Kathy Carbaugh as "Kathy Airbag" and Alessandra Ippolito as "Alexandria Impolite," just to name a few.

"It was kind of funny," Ippolito said.

Ed Patrick of Taylor Publishing, which printed the book, said his company is responsible for the errors and will provide free stickers printed with the correct names. "It happens all the time, every year," Patrick said.
