| Why is it comic book writers were obsessed with creating first and last names that started with the same letter ? Lois Lane Peter Parker J Jonah Jamison Reed Richards Lex Luthor Sue Storm Matt Murdock Bruce Banner silver surfer Robbie Robertson curt connors Green Goblin Otto Octavius Doctor Doom Dare Devil Pepper Pots Vicki Vale | |

| Somebody started doing it not knowing what it was...and they'll keep on doing it forever just because.
What is the oldest character on that list (probably Lois Lane)? My guess is that the other comic book authors thought that it was a cool idea and emulated it. _________________ "I used to be indecisive.......... Now I'm not sure."

| On the same note (and kind of funny) one of the guys I used to work for (many moons ago) married a girl he met at a party....and when she took her new husband's last name she became Davalynn Durbin. _________________ "I used to be indecisive.......... Now I'm not sure."

| Oh man that is pricless. That one is better than that character Marcy on that old show "Married with Children" who married a guy named Steve Darcy and became (yes...) Marcy Darcy. _________________ "I used to be indecisive.......... Now I'm not sure."

| When I played softball a million years ago, there was a gal on our team who's real birth name is Sandy Butts. We had lots of funny jokes when she'd have to slide into home base... heh heh | |
