Karl Marx
Everyone knows who Karl Marx is but few are aware that he had an older sister. Her name was Onya. She invented the starter pistol.

Of course he had.  That's why they call them "The Marx Brothers". 
Hmmm. Got to go rewatch some of their movies(got them all on DVD), I think I'm a Marxist of the Groucho variety.

Yes, but being in Finnish, no one but the Finns could pronounce it. (For example, "Peruspalveluliikelaitoskuntayhtymä" etc.)

It was discovered a few decades ago that Marx, for all his subversive socio-political savvy, was lamentably ignorant of the most obvious details of everyday life, at least in England.
