Hehe. Never heard of that one. I want to know how aware these people are when they name things. In sports, a bit of humor is probably common, but with the neanderthals, I just don't see the high-strung scientists of the late 1800's intentionally making a joke on this kind of thing. I do however see them doubling down on a decision even if it's pointed out that it's stupid.
