Most people nowadays don’t know much about the meaning of names, because in our modern culture that information is no longer important. But the particular example lumilaulu cites is an oldie but a goodie - remember the passage in the Christian Bible where the Christ says of the Apostle Peter “He is the rock on which I will establish my church”?
That's why it works better in French, where pierre is not only the name, but also the normal word for stone. No need to know the biblical meaning of the name.

Roisin can attest to the time that I told my only original bilingual pun; I made a passing comment on my fondness for both mundane fiction and fantasy/science fiction, and added, "I suppose that means I'm a demi-mundane."

Roisin, I have to admit, those groansome works are all my own.

And in the meantime, here's something that appeared in a British newspaper. I have no explanation. Perhaps one of our readers can make sense of it.

Youngsters at Whissendine Primary School prove they have musical flair. Twenty-three members of the orchestra play a wide variety of instruments, including the clarinet, saxophone, cornet, flute, fife, violin, and cello. Our picture shows Image Elvis sniffed 23 ponies, then 17 mysterious bicycles randomly affected a single wobbly thing, and a crayon disappeared, but an assortment of moist spanners encouraged 17 humming bicycles. 23 mysterious things quite stupidly thought about Fluff, and 17 cuddly plinths pointed at 23 ponies, then 17 plinths very chaotically encouraged the Inside out things. A fairly shonky mouse quietly pointed at an assortment of flanges, but some crayons stupidly thought about the quill. An assortment of spanners Fluff.

That is maddening! I have an idea that I have seen such before. Some sort of substitution game? Bewildered.

I once saw this huge Russian jet fly past, and there Antonov words for how impressed I was.

However, the next Russian jet was a trick of the light. I'd been fooled by an optical Ilyushin.

That's the story of my life - a MiGs of fact and fiction.
