Hah! Yeah I realize it was idiotic, it was partly satire. Incidentally, I am also aware of the Dragon Ball series of anime to use weird words for character names. I think Goku and Gohan mean something in Japanese (as in, they're not normal names), and I always heard Vegeta meant "vegetable" but I'm not sure if that's true or not. By "always heard" I mean "read on GeoCities". :)



Gohan is "rice" in Japanese. Can't remember what Goku is, but might just be a wordplay on the original Chinese "Sun Wukong" character in the very famous tale that inspired Toryiama.
