Can't believe it took me this long to pick up that M.A.C.H.0 = "MACHO". Boh! <-- Oops and mentioned on the previous page too. Never mind.

It's just occurred to me that M.A.C.H. 0 is a play on 'MACHO'.

To me it was always about the Mach scale, Mach 1 being "hyper"sonic - although technically hypersonic relates to speeds above Mach 5 (I didn't know this when I was 11 years old, though, but the idea kinda' stuck).

Y'know Sharky, I think you might have just explained the pun.... ;)

'A mud Gideon'

I spotted that on another thread and only got it now too.  Mind you, it was years before I realised Amoured Gideon was a play on Armageddon.

Now there's a crossover I'm mildly interested in seeing!

As long as it doesn't end in a dream roleplaying game!

D'oh! I've only just noticed the obvious Frank Weitz/Clara Weitz connection.

This may be me feeding my own ego here, and it probably is... anyway, though it didn't occur to me for a year or two, the chief judge of Murphyville may possibly maybe perhaps be called after ME.

When Mike Carroll was a regular poster I suggested that he might rescue the Emerald Isle from the silliness of Garth Ennis's version, and while I'm sure he would have done it anyway being a Dub, he gave the chief judge my surname.

To be fair, it's about the third most common surname in Ireland, but feck it,  I'm going to believe what I choose to believe. My former neighbour Johnny McMonagle (remember our johnnystress?) and his twin made it into a Carroll Dredd as the McMonagle brothers, so... well,  I can always dream.

St. Carlos made me Sharkman.

I'm happy.

Aye, that one's kind of indisputable.  Fair play
