Pretty certainly. But a cool one, I'll grant. Also, IIRC, Pendansky even described his name in rather lujvoid terms, explaining that it is pronounced "pen-dance-key". That might not be in the movie, I don't remember for sure. But it's in the book. (I decided to read the book after seeing the movie; a little disappointing in that it was hardly different at all). ~mark To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to lojban-list-request@lojban.org with the subject unsubscribe, or go to http://www.lojban.org/lsg2/, or if you're really stuck, send mail to secretary@lojban.org for help.
