" What do you think of when you hear the name Chubby Checker? If you said an aging pop star famous for creating the Twist, well, you&amp;#039;d be half right.  He&amp;#039;s the more well-known owner of the name. There are, however, those who also know a more perverse definition, the \u2014 nudge, nudge, wink, wink \u2014 chubby checker app. As in, you know, checking your chubby. Or rather, an app that measures your manhood.  Not familiar with it? It&amp;#039;s no wonder, as the program was for the now-defunct Palm line of smartphones, but that hasn&amp;#039;t dissuaded the human Chubby Checker from feeling all twisted up and filing a multi-million-dollar lawsuit. Claiming that sharing his pseudo-namesake \u2014 Checker&amp;#039;s real name is Ernest Evans \u2014 is a violation of his trademark as well as besmirching his good name, the artist, who was discovered due to his uncanny ability to imitate other musicians such as Fats Domino and Frankie Avalon, is seeking damages in the amount of half a billion dollars, even though the app sold only a grand total of 88 copies, all at 99 cents each. Checker&amp;#039;s last release was the inspirational ballad &amp;quot;Changes&amp;quot; in February of this year. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
