Melissa McNamara Luellen

''Melissa'' also refers to the plant ''Melissa officinalis'' (family Lamiaceae), known as lemon balm. Melissa is a common variant form, with others being Malissa, Melesa, Melessa, Meliza, Mellisa, Melosa, and Molissa. In Ireland it is sometimes used as a feminine form of the Gaelic male name ''Maoilíosa'', which means "servant of Jesus", which is of an origin independent of the Hittites.

She was one of the nymph nurses of Zeus, sister to Amaltheia, but rather than feeding the baby milk, Melissa, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Pete Jordan (golfer)
Dishwasher Pete is the pen name for Pete Jordan, author of the popular ''Dishwasher'' zine as well as the book of the same title, whose goal was to wash dishes in every state in America. For more than a decade, he moved from city to city, state to state, washing dishes in restaurants, hospitals, cafeterias, ski resorts, camps, communes, a fish cannery, an offshore oil rig, a dinner train and just about anywhere where dishes were dirty. He was once invited to appear on the ''Late Show with David Letterman''. He did not wish to be on national television, and so a friend of his took his place on the show, pretending to be him. Later, while promoting his book, Pete himself appeared on Letterman and the two discussed the earlier "appearance." The fifteen issues of the ''Dishwasher'' zine are now out of print. Memoirs of Jordan's dishwashing years were published in the book ''Dishwasher: One Man's Quest to Wash Dishes in All 50 States'' by Harper Perennial in 2007; it was positively rev ...
