Zaphod Beeblebrox is from the Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy series by Douglas Adams. <br />CMOT Dibbler lives on The Disc World, a series created by Terry Pratchett. I enjoy both series, find them funny, strange but funny.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15947271410329103836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7076115639598447002.post-73340429794257568322010-11-11T21:30:34.502-08:002010-11-11T21:30:34.502-08:00Great List!

I've always found that pretty weird too, yet oddly appropriate since he's all about the mission work.<br /><br />Mundungus Fletcher, FTW. Any name with "dung" in it is pretty much a fail. And again, so appropriate cause he really is a pile of dung.

Also, Ancilla means slave girl in latin which seems a very strange choice for what I'm assuming is a society girl.Stephanie (Books Are A Girl's Best Friend)https://www.blogger.com/profile/18209205559175407310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7076115639598447002.post-17377153682546931992010-11-09T10:23:47.362-08:002010-11-09T10:23:47.362-08:00Haha wow never even thought about the whole Gollum...Haha wow never even thought about the whole Gollum/Smeagol thing.
