I think it's worthwhile to note that in Spanish, a common idiom meaning "I'm [name]", or "My name is [name]", is this: "Me llamo [nombre]". This translates literally as "I call myself [name]". So maybe, in Spanish, he *would* call himself Doctor Worm. Chris Capel -- "What is it like to be a bat? What is it like to bat a bee? What is it like to be a bee being batted?
