I was reading the BBC website and came across this prehistoric fish article. Now I as curious as to where its name originated, obviously. It turns out to be from a Professor of that name and it was unearthed in Peterborough. Pity there isn't one on display at the new museum.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leedsichthys

But the finder is named after our fair city - so there's a link, albeit very tenuous.
there are 10 types of people in the world. Those that understand ternary, those that don't and those that think this a joke about the binary system.
