Don't they name storms after numbers and five is the worst...

Yes, Wiking is much better. I dont think the girlfriend/wife of the lad with the cat would appreciate the translation of totenkofph. Dare we suggest Guderian or Peiper??

You're right. Totenkopf is a bit too long a name. Probably the same for Liebstandarten.

Latka, OK - now you have to let us know what you name the cat. Even if it's some silly name that your woman comes up with - we understand!! ;) I must add that I'm NOT a cat person - I have a book that tells the best things to do with cats - but I won't go there. :D Figmo

for a cat that catches birds occasionally, i'd have a hard time passing up Wirblewind, shortenable to Wirble. wives/girlfriends probably wouldn't veto that, since it sounds so nice and fluffy ;)

The newest kitty (as of last November I think!) was named Pershing. The one before that was Panzer, and the "first" kitty was Tiger. Hahaha... he should be King Tiger 'cause he's such a big fat cat. They do get outside occasionally...well, Tiger does. He picks these little java rice birds out of the air like it's nothing. It's pretty impressive to see a 16lb cat stalk a bird that's probably no longer than 3", then leap and swipe it out of the air. My girlfriend absolutely hates it, but I think it's quality entertainment. :) ...then again, finding decapitated birds of all sizes around the yard is kinda gross! Andy
