The Puppetutes of Heroes
I'm enjoying the TV series Heroes quite a bit and was discussing the show with longtime acquaintance, McQ (who is more mysterious than McG, but much less than V), and she pointed out that Adrian Pasdar, who plays annoying politician dude, Peter Petrelli, was in a film called The Pompatus of Love.
Being the natural wonderer that I am, I began thinking about what exactly a "pompatus" was.
Apparently, it's nothing but a misheard word from long ago R&B music. It seems Steve Miller has a bit of a habit of lifting words from other music. Check out the Straight Dope.
