A sequence of "characters"

[hoarsewhisperer]

THAT'S MY BOY: When Pat and Sheena Wheaton of New Zealand saw theirunborn son in an ultrasound, they knew he was "for real". Thus, afterhe was born they registered his name as 4Real Wheaton, which Pat admitsis "a little bit cheeky." But Brian Clarke, the Registrar-General ofBirths, Deaths and Marriages, rejected the registration, saying thedictionary definition of "name" is "a sequence of characters" -- nodigits allowed. The Wheatons say that if their 4Real appeal fails,they'll still call him 4Real, but will register his name as "Superman".(New Zealand Herald) ...What we have here is most definitely a sequence of characters.
