Hmmmmm.... Starbuck is also a character from Moby Dick. Is Hedwig the name of one of the Mates? Or (and this is REALLY weak!) The World Figure Skating Championships have a Hedwig Winzer from Germany as winner at some point, along with JoJo Starbuck at a different point. Can't see any relation otherwise. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 24, 2000 9:42 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: Names Wasn't the beta for 6.0 called Starbuck? Therfore instead of Apollo -> Hedwig, you get Apollo -> Starbuck, which makes more sense (at least to old fans of BattleStar Galactica). Now how Starbuck goes to Hedwig, I don't know, though I am a fan of the Potter books. -burk On Thu, 24 Aug 2000, Ward William E PHDN wrote: > > > 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...
