Yeah, well -- you know that being THAT creative takes a toll on a

Actually it was late, and I wanted to hit the sack....which contrary to
some people's dirty minds, does _not_ have a Firewoman in it....on the
other hand, I am not going to comment on rumors that it might have an
amorous, ambidextrous, animatronic, and autoerotic "Rubber Maid" named
"Frisky French Fifi" in it.


I love the way you put that last reference, OM -- I think most people
would be surprised at how many things have been named (even formally)
based on such remarks. On the fictional side, there's Larry Niven's
Mount Lookitthat, but in the real world, there are also many examples.
Such as Montevideo in South America -- the word literally means "I see a
mountain," and the port was named because those were the first words out
of the mouth of the bosun (or whatever) who first spied it.


Carlsbad Cavern has a load of recently discovered features named after
things in Jules Verne's "Journey To The Center Of The Earth" IIRC. As to
what "Frisky French Fifi's" features are named after, I'll leave it to
the imagination....let's just say that there are few hotter volcanic
craters than the one of "Mount Etna". :-)
