Apparently, there's also an illustrated childrens' book by another author Sandra Peterson based on cyberselfish by Paulina [1]

Firefox reader mode displays the full article perfectly.

This is a pretty interesting article. Firefox shows the first paragraph for a second and then blanks it, but lynx -dump manages to get the text. There's an audio too but I ignored that.

> Ok, but first I have to tell you about Dick Pick. Literally his name. Richard A. Pick. Went by Dick.

How Americans keep straight face in such situations?

Not an American, but this reminded me of Randy Baumgardner and Foggy Bottom.

From Randy Baumgardner’s Wikipedia page:

“…a legislative intern, accused Baumgardner of sexual harassment in which he slapped her butt…”

You can’t make this stuff up.

Often they don't and it's kind of the point. You could go by Rich, Richie, Rick, Ricky, Dickie... if you choose to call yourself Dick, you know you're going to cause some amount of snickering and you're doing it on purpose.

Also I remember men called him Richard Feynman but a lot of women called him Dick. That's sending a different message.

There was about a paragraph and then nothing but ads. Don't bother clicking.
