And I bow to whoever said Zoot from Monty Python... You are correct, that's where they got Zoot, not from the Muppets in this case. They may not have even remembered the Muppets when they came up with this. Picasso and Rembrandt - both famous painters Rembrandt and Colgate - both toothpastes in the US Colgate and Vanderbilt - both US colleges Vanderbilt and Biltmore - Biltmore is the Vanderbilt's mansion in North Carolina Biltmore and Thunderbird - no idea, but there's a connection or you're missing one. Hmmm... seems to me the Biltmore was a luxury Chrysler automobile WAY back when... but that would break a pattern with the next one. Anyone else see the connection? Thunderbird and Mustang - both Ford automobiles Mustang and Hurricane - both WWII fighter aircraft Hurricane and Manhattan - both alcoholic drinks Manhattan and Apollo - both big time engineering/physics projects, both Wonders of the World in Civilization. Apollo and Hedwig - not completely sure... haven't read the Potter books, but I know this is where they must be getting it. The Apollo is a famous Off-Broadway theater; did it show "Hedwig and the Magic Inch"? Hedwig and Cartman - both Cartoon characters (remember the little dog I mentioned?) but somehow, this one is screaming that I've missed the right connection, especially when I have to use Eric Cartman again in the Cartman-Piglet bond. Cartman and Piglet - no clue how they are related... Piglet would be most famous for Winnie the Pooh... but I don't know of any Cartman connected with Pooh Bear. Of course, they may be referring again to Eric Cartman... He's "the fat kid" and will eat tons of food.... he's a "piglet" of sorts. Piglet and Zoot - The aforementioned "Monty Python and the Holy Grail". Zoot and Pinstripe - both types of suits Pinstripe and ------ Pinstripes on an automobile are a decoration. Perhaps "Decal" or "Flames" or some such for the 7.0 release. Of course, RH may have some other use for Pinstripe. Again, as yesterday, I dimly recall Pinstripe being a comic strip character.... which may mean "Zippy" for the next version, as well. (yes, I know, it's Zippy the Pinhead). But Zippy would open up other connections... Ok, how does THAT look?
