	Bjorn Bjornson
	Bjorn Bjornson is an Icelandic child who attended Professor
	Moshimo's classes at the "School For the Wealthy and Smart",
	and is a jealous rival of Moshimo's works and Kamikazi's plans
	including Robotboy. He has also designed a robot equal in
	power to that of Robotboy called "Bjornbot". It can be seen in
	the episode Runaway Robot that he dislikes herrings.and Bjorn
	and Moshimo called Bjornbot Brother Bjorn. and in the episode
	Party Out of Bounds fighting his second rival Dr. Kamikazi. He
	speaks in an accent very similar to Stewie Griffin from Family
	Guy

Don't know if you've noticed this, but I've pointed out elsewhere that  
the Bonzo Dog Band rendition of "Bang Bang" sounds much like Stewie.  
Look for track fourteen at the Rhapsody wedsite—you can play the  
entire track for free, should you so desire:

Simply by virtue of the konnection of Rocketman to Rocketboy we have  
an ultrakute korrespondence. TRP may be Rocketman now, he was  
Rocketboy then.

That's a huge stretch, but gives me a great excuse to sic:

Sure 'splains how Doc gets caught up in all these Elmer Fudd scenarios  
when Bigfoot manages to get Doc to do something that Bigfoot really  
doesn't want to do, like Kill a couple of Golden Fang boys who were  
planning on offing the spotty dick anyway. Chuck Jones would have  
worked that kind of material into seven minutes of divine madness.

The Inherent Vice of having been brilliant beyond compare [and oftimes  
too brilliant to comprehend] is watching the edge slowly burn off.  
Don't rule out veiled autobiography. Don't rule out the possibility  
that smarts are being supplanted by wisdom. Don't rule out the  
possibility of moral order in "Inherent Vice." Don't rule out the  
possibility that the surface meaning of Inherent Vice" is the author's  
intent—if it seems like it's easier to read than any other of his  
books, it's because it's the easiest read of all his books.

But yeah—as noted elsewhere, the Golden Fang is Capitalism.
