I get the feeling that we all are, pedantry runs rampant here, as does anywhere whereto get a gathering of smart people. (Heck, there's a mention of pinning your questions carefully so the pedants have nothing to complain about over at the TD tips thread right now!) And that's what I love about this board.

Except it doesn't, because a Scottish Terrier wasn't named after a member of that royal family (or any particular Scotsman), it was just named after a country.

Did I fast forward over something on my PVR, because I don't recall seeing one today. (And, to answer your question, the Archive does a good job at recording them. You don't even have to go in every game, they are recorded at the top with the player's names so in the season overviews they are listed on the right side with other information like the game number of super champs and tournament game numbers.)

When we staying in London last year, we were near the one-time HQ for Michelin in Chelsea, now called the Bibendum Building (that's the full name of the dude, taken from the Latin "Nunc est bibendum" - "Now is the time for drinking.") It has lots of vintage pictures and artwork of Bib.
I answered Bibendum too, I thought no one else would have but I keep forgetting what kind of crowd this is. I have the same selective amnesia every time I play TD. (In fact, I'd say Bibendum is more correct, as the ads they were referring to (about Bib drinking up nails) ran when he was called Bibendum, he wasn't called the Michelin Man after the Latin name fell into disuse and the nail ads stopped.)
