Okay, being reminded of the Ender/Hitler thing, I was reminded of the Santa/Satan thing, and thought, I wonder what other connections out there I'm missing out on.

So the challenge here is to come up with a connection between two random people/characters/events and then justify it as logically as you possibly can.

Is Tom Davidson really a pseudonym of Donald Rumsfeld? Was Mandy Moore really on the grassy knoll? Is Strong Bad really Abner Doon with a wrestler's mask?

Well, I'm two degrees of separation from Jewel and I've delivered pizza to Huey Lewis. Is that good?

P.S. the British spell it connexion, which I thoroughly enjoy.

This all reminds me of the Fidel Castro/Pat Sejack thing. Or even the William Henry Harrison/Benji event.

Okay i can't right now think of a good conection but I just wanted to say I loved hearing a reference to Home Star runner. It has been one of my favorite sights for about a year. No one I know has ever heard about it and usually when I show them they think I'm a moron.

I think you shall find yourself in good company here, beatnik. We are an official outpost of Strongbadia, equipped with our very own Trogdor the Burninator, and teeming with thatched-roof cottages.

(edit: as much fun as temming can be, teeming is better)

Santa/Satan--anagrams.

I don't know the Hitler/Ender thing, except they both end in Er, and both were responsible for Genocide, though there is the question of Intent.

I saw a story in the Globe that said Eminem was the Devil in disguise. Funny, I always pictured the Devil as having better taste, and a better ability at disguise.

I think John Ashcroft is the reincarnation of Sen. McCarthy - does that count?

Q.

The Ender/Hitler thing is an old article somebody brought up yesterday on the other side of the forum.

The Santa/Satan thing is an old comedy bit just about everybody's familiar with. (Santa and Satan. Their names are almost the same. They both wear red. Have you ever seen them together? Coincidence? I think not.)

And one of the older English names for Satan is "Old Nick". Again, coincidence? Nah...

Apologies in advance if this offends anyone.

A friend of mine is convinced that Popeye is God. Seriously. Here is his reasoning: God told Moses, "I Am that I Am"; Popeye is always going around saying, "I am what I am, and that's all that I am". Ergo, they are the same person.
