Hi Les,

LOL!

As you are probably aware, there is no way one could possibly communicate
that correction back to the authors, as I believe Alternate Universe is delivered
to us through a one-way worm hole that momentarily appears behind one
of the outdoor outhouses at Wiruna once every Earth year

Personally I always assumed the names were "Donner and Blitzen" from the
German for thunder and lightning. A quick Google reveals this article which
attempts to trace the confusing etymology.

"Even some of the burnt edges on overdone Pizzas resembled the dark matter
on the edge of 'The Sombrero' "
