I always thought the first name connection was dicey.

One of the authors of that book produced the show Blackadder, and the other wrote QI (Quite Interesting), one of the best British TV shows. In fact, if you like the book, it's worth watching a few QI's on YouTube - apart from anything else, the original presenter Stephen Fry is great.

He has a great podcast too. At least Season One, called “Great Leap Years”.
