Russel Crowe or Russian Crow

Three years ago there was medical examination for employees at my workplace. I was intended to go through examination with my coworkers at certain day, but I had too much work, so I delayed it till it was possible. In last day I went to the doctor. There was huge queue. I found seat and began to wait. There was fire extinguisher on the wall near me and inscription :"Fire safety responsible person Vorona A.V.".<br /> Hour and a half I was looking at this inscription. It makes me think about russian and english surnames. Most of russian surnames have endings like "-ov" or "-in". So you never confuse surname with other words. But little part of surnames looks like usual nouns. And this cause some funny cases and jokes, when surname is being confused whith it meaning. And surname "Vorona" is one of those. Normally it should be "Voronov" or "Voronin" in russian. Whithout ending it means just "crow".<br /> But in english such cases are more common. I was thinking: "All those Sawyers, Bakers, Carpenters - how people differ - is this surname, or craft". I was thinking of it all time i was seating there. Finaly, two nurses stand near me and begin to discuss this man, and they call him just "vorona"(crow).<br /> Next day I surfed Internet, and, when I make a break, I enter my mother room. She was watching some wierd tv shows on discovery, NatGeo etc. This time it was show where father and his son were walking along wild beach in Australia. First, they found snake and poke it with stick. Then they found little crow with wounded wing. Son asked his father if he could take this crow to their farm. Father allowed. Then son ask:"So, could I call him Russel )))" and they both laughed.<br /> I was shoked. Till that moment I never associated Russel Crowe and crow. The day before I spend 1,5 hour thinking about noun-like surnames, I spend 1,5 hour looking at the surname "Vorona"(crow), wich means "crow" and next day, occasionally seating with my mother, and watched joke about noun-like surname Crowe-Crow.<br /> I certainly didn't heard any associations Crowe-Crow later. And I belive, I didn't heard one before. So, it was unique for me.<br /> If I went to doctor on time, there wouldnt be such resonance.<br /> I'm not fond of tv shows.<br /> That was perfect coincedence, it was not only rational, it was like a joke of fate or something!<br />
