RE. Mario, the Italian plumber: The story, which may be apocryphal, is that when Mr. Arakawa was setting up Nintendo of America they had this warehouse and when the time came to give Jumpman from Donkey Kong a name they were being hassled by their landlord, an Italian American named Mario. The plumbing angle is a mystery though. Not a funny answer, but at least it's probably a bit accurate. Congratulations on your 50th show!
