Snopes.com is one of the best sites on the internet for proving or debunking urban legends, myths, folklore, and rumors. Here's a link to it.

By the way, whats so sick about Roger the Cabin Boy? Is Roger slang in England?

-Cory

: I am always interested in cultural differences, especially linguistic ones.

: Here there was a programme called 'Captain Pugwash', a kids cartoon about a group of rather congenial pirates.

: Two of the characters were Seaman Staines and Master Bates.

: We also had a programme called 'Rainbow' where a male froglike character called Zippy, regularly went to bed with a pink male hippopotamus type character called George who carried a handbag and wore curlers in bed.
