The Mexicans referred to him as Geronimo.              According to legend, Geronimo is for St.Jerome,       patron saint of translators, librarians and encyclopedists.       It seems rather odd to me that he would be named       for a saint that has that association. There       are several stories about why the Mexicans called       him that - but the one that seems to have the longest       legs is that the Mexicans pleaded to St. Jerome to       save them during one of the times they were losing to       the Apache raider.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
