When I wrote this, how weird does the name Subbuteo look? Wonder how this name came out!

Bored and just looked it up...
The name is derived from the Neo-Latin scientific name Falco subbuteo (a bird of prey commonly known as the Eurasian hobby), after a trademark was not granted to its creator Peter Adolph (1916–1994) to call the game "Hobby".

Everyday is a school day!
