Oh, the possibliities of Mothra. For example, a couple of years ago, at a SF convention costume contest, one person presented her costume of "Mothra Stewart", explaining how the bodies of the dead had such practical home uses.
Another:
The paleontologists who discovered the dinosaur _Rahonavis_ (which roughly means 'bird menace') were froced to change the name to that from the original of what they wanted, which was _Rahona_ (simply, roughly, 'menace'). You see, the genus name _Rahona_ was already taken...by a moth from Madagascar. Which leds to the question "What the hell kind of moths do they have in Madagascar?"
