Apparently in Germany they list the surname first on the tombstones. So he was saying Jacks surname must be Herman so that the headstone will read RIP Herman Jack (Repairman Jack, pronounce RIP as the word rip, not rest in peace).

Smith
Johnson
Williams
Jones
Brown
Valentine is number 751

Of course he does. That was one of the names Jack used in The Tomb.Nope. It's something somebody here dreamed up -- it has nothing to do with any of Paul's novels. I have no idea what words "trekkies" use.

That last name listing is from the 1990 census, NOT the 2010 census, just wanted you to know.
Of course F. Paul would know, he is omnipotent!
If you have no idea what words "Trekkies" use, you need to get out more often!
