For serious? I don't know where I first learned about her; like I said, I always thought that the story of Sybil, "the woman with sixteen different personalities," was one of those cultural things that everyone just picked up. Hehe--I guess I'm wrong.

On the movie: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sybil_%28film%29

Yeah, the crazy Sybil is the first and only thing I think of. I would never ever be able to use this name for that reason. What a horrifying and tragic story!

Whoa, I don't think you could really call her crazy. She had a disorder, and learnt to deal with it.

But it was a 'mental' disorder :-/

Hmm, maybe I'm being too PC...

I guess I just have a thing about calling anybody crazy - whether or not someone has some kind of mental deficiency, doesn't necessarily mean they are any less sane than you or I, IMO.

Edited because I was in a hurry when I posted, and didn't phrase myself properly!
