I always wondered why would anybody name a Queen after tonsils. (In Spanish --> amigdala = tonsil)

Every time I hear Queen Amidala mentioned my mind jumps immediately into thinking about tonsils...

Not very regal indeed. <g>


A few years back some car company (Toyota I think) named a SUV as the "Pajero" (Wanker in some Spanish argots) They changed it to Montero soon afterward.

My point? Just thinking aloud as I wait nervously for the market to open on Monday...
