Oh boy.. How do they discover these names. I know, in fact. A company
produces a list of up to 10,000 names (see Edsel at Wikipedia) and out
of all that detritis someone picks a name.

eh? the Edsel was named after one of the Ford dynasty -

Javelin. Because it travels like an arrow straight to its intended
destination at exactly the right time.

No, Javelin because of the Olympics. Officially, Javelin is /only/ the
name of the London - Stratford - Ebbsfleet shuttle service that will
run during the games - the suggestion is that the name will stick for
the overall HS1 domestic service (as it already has done among
gricers, by the look of things).

More like, Javelin, like a frozen streak of bat-**** like in that
Python sketch!
LOROL!
