You didn’t misread this. Jennifer Thornburg of North Carolina legally changed her name in October, 2008 to CutoutDissection.com. This is maybe the first case of its kind where a URL is taken as a legal name.
Jennifer started opposing animal dissections when she was in middle school. She wanted to do something to protest continued dissections in schools. Now her drivers license reads: Dissection.com, Cutout. Some friends and family still call her Jennifer, but Cutout is catching on.

Cutout's new driver's license
Nice going, Cutout. Kudos to those who take a positive stand and stick to it.

Update: In May, 2011, PETA (People for Ethical Treatment of Animals) started a campaign to replace animal dissection in schools by offering money to school districts to purchase virtual dissection software.
