Character names from the Tex games
I've always gotten the feeling I'm missing something obvious here: is something behind the name Melahn Tode? It's such a weird name. Melahn sounds like an interesting first name and Tode sounds like a last name, but putting them together seems really weird. Is there some sort of pun that I'm not getting?
The only thing I can think of is "melon toad", which definitely matches neither Shannon Engelmann nor her character. Or was it simply a case of a poorly-chosen last name? I mean, if she had been Melahn Lawson or something, nothing would appear odd.
Any other names people have wondered about? Any lore about the naming of the characters (such as "Ardo Newpop" - a great one!)?

the letters in 'tex murphy' spell out 'humphrey,' as in 'humphrey bogart'. the 't' and 'x' are unused though...wonder if it has any meaning...hmmm...
p.s. just saw that all on my own! I'm cool

"Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do"
"ERROR: Error Code Does Not Indicate An Error"
"ERROR: Error Code Does Not Indicate An Error"
After slamming those names in the Anagram Generator I've come up with that Ardo Newpop could mean 'Pawn or dope'.

Tex liked puzzles. I wonder if there's a code that's being cracked here. What about Jackson Cross and others?
