Spider Robinson is a good on one stoplearning
updated list on page 3


General Tsao please don't feel disenfranchised, I am just trying
to make it correct. Plus I think we will have plenty of disenfranchised
people in this country after Nov. 2 no matter which party you belong to.

Chick Correa—Jazz musician.

Mako—Actor. (A shark)


From "The Sand Pebbles."

Does it count that Leo Tolstoy's name in Russian is Lev, which, in Russian, does mean 'lion'? That should help his cause somewhat, I feel he is being discriminated against, poor old man.

Sorry that first image of Mako didn't take. Mako was an actor who played Po-Han in "The Sand Pebbles."

Mako is a good one Coluber 2001. (I remember him from Conan) I had always thought that Mako had to have Shark after it but the dictionary says... mako n : powerful mackerel shark of the Atlantic and Pacific [syn: mako shark].

sorry dagmarka but Leo was tried and was found to be foreign when the dictionary had shown the word to be latin for lion. this time the dictionary has shown lev to be Bulgarian for lion (surprisingly not russian) but rules state only words defined in dictionary as not another language other than english.

Ben: Did you overlook Chick Correa?

Sorry coluber 2001 forgot to mention that Chick Correa already on list thanks to mac 11

The fact that after 4 pages there hasn't been a single mention of one of my role models, the legendary Mad Dog Vachon, has caused me great distress. Let us, at this time, add the great one to the list....

sorry gustavratzenhofer but Mad Dog is in neither online dictionary nor in any thesaurus so I cannot accept it. I guess mad dog is more of a medical condition than an animal

Marten De Vos—16th and 17th century Flemish painter. A marten is an animal in the weasel family and is similar to a fisher.

yes indeed.... I knew marten was a member of the weasel family but I couldn't come up with anybody with the first name Marten. Good work coluber 2001

Buck Henry(actor-director)

Since we're on the subject of deer, Fawn Hall. She was Oliver North's secretary, the one who shredded his documents. She had her fifteen minutes of notoriety if not exactly fame.

very good Coluber I had forgotten about Fawn Hall, but I was waiting for somebody to give a Buck

FOX Makeba, actor and dancer
COBRA Verde, actor/director

hey Clary; what I found so far on those was that Cobra Verde is a movie or possiblely even a band but nowhere could I find where there is a famous person called Cobra Verde and as far as Fox Makeba all I could find was an aspiring actor named Fox makeba whose has been in nothing that I could find. so if you could provide more info on them since the catorgory is Famous people with animal first names

Buffalo Bill. I'm not proud of this one.

Kit Carson. The dictionary says that kit is synonymous with kitten. Of course we already have Kitty Kelly.

This isn't over, Benyamin.

Gus: Unless the first name is Maddog, it wouldn't work anyway. Dog appears to be the middle name. Now, there's a catfish called madtom. If you could find a wrestler or somebody to fit that, I'm sure Ben would consider it. I looked up gus in the dictionary, but alas, there's no animal called a gus. Too bad; it would be so appropriate.

Newt Gingrich. I can't believe I'm the first to think of that one.

How about Snake Plisken? Anyone mentioned him?
