I suggested in MUD that if a river is discovered on the planet the high school students are moved to, it should be named The Ning Nang Nong.
[Search through Brin's webpage. You'll find the reference.] Here's the original poem for the Milligan uninitiated. On the Ning Nang Nong Where the Cows go Bong! And the Monkeys all say Boo! There's a Nong Nang Ning Where the trees go Ping! And the tea pots Jibber Jabber Joo. On the Nong Ning Nang All the mice go Clang! And you just can't catch 'em when they do! So it's Ning Nang Nong! Cows go Bong! Nong Nang Ning! Trees go Ping! Nong Ning Nang! The mice go Clang! What a noisy place to belong, Is the Ning Nang Ning Nang Nong!! Spike Milligan in Silly verse for kids, 1968 Drawing by the author.
