I'd more interested in birth/death dates in Perplex City calender than looking for extra parts of a name which probably aren't even there

Doesn't the word 'Teutonic' mean 'German' as well?
I was under the impression that it was...

<PSH>

In as much as Gaelic means French that is to say, Teutonic Anglo-Saxon tribes used to live in the Region now called Germany and Gaelic Tribes lived in the Region called Gaul which is modern day France. So yes and no Teutonic will be close to German but it isn't really German... probably close enough though.

Hate to say this, but speaking my mind...

I think she's called Fran. Smile

Wish I had my Occam signature back again!

personally I like the scooby doo theory, that is:

"this evil man [who we all thought was the nice old geezer who ran the hotel] is the one who tried to steal the cube"

"I would have had it too, if it werent for those pesky Mendling kids"

Yes, it has been a long day, why do you ask?

Hmm...i don't know how to say "i won't dignify that with a response", without responding Wink

I don't think that there is an anagram within the limited scope of "Fran Mendling." I think that there is likely something(s) we are missing, but I think any anagram is going to have more than just one character's name.

I do agree that her given name is not likely going to be "Fran", but that does not mean that the PMs went to that level - they may have just come up with a name that 'fit' who they felt Fran to be. I think any analysis with these meager data can only please aesthetic extrapolation.

Of course, i could be and history has shown - that I am capable of being completely WRONG!

Ling Mend Fran!

personally i'd be very dissappointed if the PMs use cheap anagrams -- just doesn't fit with the scenario IMHO

it happens some times it's not even an anagram http://www.california-recall.com/articles/article-85501089439579.html like the cia informant in this article.

yeah exactly... in real life, people use pen-names and such, anagrams of their real names to protect their identity... it's perfectly reasonable IMO that Acadamy people, or anyone involved with the hunt for the cube might use code names and such... not saying these names are anagrams, but it's not far-fetched to be impossible. ie I don't think it's 'cheap' or 'meta' or anything, since it's a logical in-game possibility for the actions of the characters... *shrug*
