If there is something cool, funny or interesting called Zorak in everybody else's cultural spectrum except mine, please tell me what it is. It sounds like a character from some sort of SF show. I can imagine someone called, maybe, "Zorak! [fanfare] Defender of ... the UNIVERSE!" Is that you?

Hehehe. I was wondering if anyone would notice I had done just that. Deliberately, on purpose, and just to annoy the heck out of everyone.
Mantrid was an archcriminal from LEXX, the TV series which also provided my own name. A sort of bionic mad genius whose head and limbless body float around in a sort of antigravity device, accompanied by his millions of robot arms which float through space and take apart planets and stuff at random.
I never said it was a very *sensible* TV series.
