I also meant and mean no disrespect to Peter Fatzinger. Which is why I said that the combination of his name and the topic is a humorous COINCIDENCE and did not say the combination is humorous. Perhaps I should have said "wry" or some other synonym with less baggage. I did not first consult with John Gilmore to find the perfect seven- or eight-syllable word to describe the wryness of the coincidence. And the etymology of the name Fatzinger adds to the wryness of this coincidence.

You think that is humorous? According to http://www.ancestry.com/name-origin?surname=fatzinger , fatzinger is a variant of fatzer which means "to tease" or "to make fun of". Note - no disrespect meant to Peter. -- This is clearly another case of too many mad scientists, and not enough hunchbacks.
