LOL Spanki. That reminds me of the first time I read 'The Man Who Fell to Earth' by Walter Tevis (the most under-rated American writer ever, IMO). When one of the characters says to the 'martian' something like 'So you're from Mars?', he replies 'Yes. Except we don't call it Mars. We call it Anthea, so I'm an Anthean' I thought that was so cool. It's obvious that martians wouldn't call themselves 'martians', but it had never occurred to me before. mac
