British Lord Chief Justice is called Lord Judge

The say, what? part of this BBC news item isn’t what is reported (High-ranking judicial official comments apropos a jury member posting trail details to Facebook), but the bit I put in my title: British Lord Chief Justice is called Lord Judge. No, seriously, that appears to be his name. Is the BBC pulling my leg? Seriously? Well then, I lol.

Oops. Turns out he’s actually called Igor. Bah.

Public Official Has Silly Name should always be the lead of such items. My mother’s favorite example is the former Archbishop of Manilla, Cardinal Sin.
