I got an explaining e-mail from Erik and understand that I have misunderstood 
the context. My blunder.

Again - I find Norway to be odder. They gave Ratchet the same name as 
Gyro, "Petter", but then changed it (not back to Ratchet, but to "Julius"), and 
they also gave Fulton the name "Edison", but then later changed it back 
to "Fulton"!
