I doubt it too. But there are =many= strange tales from the Commonwealth of the South. Like, "Where did the F-14's go?" :eek:

That's a triangle with all kinds of posabilities.

Jack is an old, old nickname of John, born in the days when the pool of names was smaller and nicknames were more handy to tell people apart. Note also Molly/Polly for Mary and the gazillions of nicknames for historically common names like Elizabeth and Robert. John and Jonathan are separate names with separate meanings. Both are biblical.

Just finished Infernal over the weekend, and I just want to say it was another great installment in the Repairman Jack saga. Have we seen the last of Tom? We don't know where he went. Maybe, he'll be back.

Now that you mention it, your right. The big book of baby names should have already set me strait on this.

These days, Jack is also quite often a given name as well. So is Larry. I even knew someone whose given name was Bill.
