lulz, Cracked.com. Ah, what I’ve learned from that place… It oughta be a clbum in high school; just a bunch of folks sitting around reading random **** to enrich their scope, or somethin’.
Anyway, this one is relevent to the Pavlov character, or at least it ought to be (if it’s not, tell me what relative-lackluster his name’s drawn from).

I thought Pavlov’s name came from the psychologist? I mean salivation was a theme with him. |

Ha, saw that on a moist towelette at Hooters of all places.
And I’m guessing Pavlov’s name came from Ivan Pavlov, the psychologist who came up with the theory of clbumical conditioning (to simplify, Dog+Meat=Salivating, Dog+Meat+Bell=Salivating, eventually Dog+Bell=Salivating…hence the slurping), parodying Rorschach from Watchmen, who was named after the Rorschach inkblot tests. |

Oooooh, mmkay. I’m out of the loop on Watchmen, so I’ve avoided anything related to it as much as I can until I see/read the thing. I guess psychosi—er, psychology is coo’, too. |

It’s an amalgam of Ivan Pavlov and Walter Kovacs (AKA: Rorschach). Sadly, it’s unlikely that they were aware of Yakov Pavlov, so he didn’t influence the FWZ character. |
