Yo, Paul Ryan! Atlas Didn't Shrug, She Put Her Hand Out

[Heikki Raudaskoski]

You Kai/you guys [btw anglos: "Kai" and "guy" rhyme] got me into this...

I did a little investigating and found out that Ayn Rand apparently
based her pseudonym on a Finnish writer - most probably on Aino Kallas
[1878-1956) who I do like.

(Again, the diphthong "Ai" in Aino is pronounced as the corresponding
diphthong in "Kai" and "guy".)

"Kallas" means "bank" or "strand" in Finnish and Estonian, whereas
"rand" means "coast" or "strand" in Estonian...


OUCH!
