Hi, welcome to h2g2. I saw the name on the users list, and I was just vaguely wondering if it's taken from Candide? Although the name in that book is spelled Pangloss... Oh well, I'll quit rambling. Have fun at h2g2!

Yes, you are right. Voltaire's character is called Pangloss. I will stick with my misremembered name and will have to go back to the book. It is some time since I read it.

Candide is a good book...very funny. I see a lot of similarities between it and The Hitchhiker's Guide...
