I was listening to an American MBA student....
...give a talk about the Borgia family (very important in Renaissance Italian politics/skullduggery) during a class. The main character was Giovanni Borgia however as the family were originally Spanish he is sometimes referred to as Juan Borgia (Juan is the Spanish equivalent of Giovanni). This MBA student got thoroughly confused and told us all about these two characters, Giovanni and Juan Borgia, who strangely enough lived completely parallel lives and exactly the same things happened to both of them. They even married the same woman and died the same way at the same time. He didn't notice his mistake and what is worse neither did his fellow classmates!?

And these people are future industry leaders?!
