Out of curiosity, I typed etymology of schwarzenegger into Google and was led here. (God, I love the Web.) Looks like Dr. Weevil made the same assumption I made — I’d assumed that schwarzenegger redundantly meant “black black.” But apparently, as someone points out in Dr. Weevil’s comments, it’s not schwarze/negger but schwarzen/egger, or “black plowman.”

Just one of the little bits of bizarredom you’ll find linked here at the Tin Man.

In other news — well, okay, in the same news — it’s just surreal to see the word “Schwarzenegger” in a Washington Post front page banner headline.
