Yoda name stops woman joining Facebook
A Japanese woman called Yoda claims she was stopped from joining Facebook, because she has a name from a galaxy far far away (well Japan.)
Hiroko Yoda said that every time she tried to joint the site she was confronted with an error message. The force was not with her.
Suspecting the problem might be her Star Wars featured name, she tried spelling it wrong and sure enought she was allowed to join.
After contacting Facebook the author - who has several books on Amazon - was told Yoda was on a name blacklist because so many people tried to sign up as the Jedi master.
Eventually Hiroko Yoda was allowed to set up a profile on the site - but only after using her Jedi mind tricks.
