    Great list! I’m impressed you managed to pull these out of such a huge list of names. McJoe and McWilliams – a great twin couple! I also love Prince Octopus and Endurance. Ironic that she runs the 100m :)

    Thanks!

    Yes, I had hoped Endurance did marathons or decathlons or something… oh well… I guess the 100m is better than shot put. :)
