<Reminds me of a cartoon character who'd always sing out -- "Here he comes to save the day..." Who was that?>
Mister Trouble never hangs around
When he hears this Mighty sound.
"Here I come to save the day"
That means that Mighty Mouse is on his way.
Yes sir, when there is a wrong to right
Mighty Mouse will join the fight.
On the sea or on the land,
He gets the situation well in hand.

Oh, that's where it is! It actually looks quite ugly, doesn't it.
Sure, you are our favorite Frenchman Francis

I'm in the office and can't post either....

You'd be right, Jane. That's in Europe.
If you know a 16th century folktale, then this makes perfect sense.

Etymology of the word, I mean.

Romans did a lot of tile work art, so I'd guess Italy.

The Golem of Prague
Well, maybe Francis doesn't want to tell the story. It is pretty crazy. It is Francis' turn, however. Here are a couple of links...
Of all the Golem legends, none is as famous as the story cycle of the Golem of Prague. There had been books, plays, and even films depicting it, and often they included the crator of the Golem of Prague, Rabbi Loew. Prague was home to many Jewish scholars and mystics; Rabbi Loew was probably the most famous. He lived a long life. 1513-1609, and defended his people valiantly against their enemies. His followers loved him so much they called him "The Exalted One".
Even to a holy man, or a great mystic, creating life is forbidden. It can only be justified if many lives would be saved by doing so, and not always even then. But Rabbi Loew was instructed to try the horrifying task. He created his Golem with divine help, using Kabbalistic formulas communicated to him in dreams....
