It took me way too long to cop that Armoured Gideon sounded like Armageddon.

I always thought it was from The Clash song Armagideon Time

Hewligan = Hooligan.
From a drunken moment of clarity, chatting to DDD at the 40th.

You got that it was also Hewlett and Milligan though?

Yup, of course.

You know, that went right over my head. So bloody obvious now.

Wow, really? You've only just noticed? Funny because it took me longer to notice Wulf was called Sternhammer because he was a stern fellow...with a hammer. :lol:

Yeah  :-[

I never ran the two words together, until a recent Dogbreath issue...

Was just re-reading SD Agency Files 01, and noticed that Wulf's cucumber fetish was actually started by another character, the Wolrog Sergeant Kark in the Galaxy Killers. (He's smart as cucumber you know)

I've often wondered how Would got so obsessed with cucumbers being a viking, as isn't it a New World fruit?* Then again, the Norsemen did cross the great divide centuries before that Columbus chap.

I suspect he picked it up later, though.

* I'm sure it's technically a fruit having seed thing inside.

According the Wikipedia cucumbers were first cultivated in India around 3000 years ago, and they're mentioned in the Old Testament. The first recorded mention in France is from the 9th century so maybe he visited France on a raid.

Botanically they're a fruit but they're treated as a vegetable from a culinary point of view.

Hershey, Bar(bara)

I wonder if that one was intentional?  I thought I read somewhere (possibly earlier in this thread) that the name was taken from this Barbara Hershey.
