CALL ME SNAKE

I just learned that “Calabi-Yau” is the name of the starship captained by Jetfire and his crew of Technobots in the IDW Publishing Transformers comic, Stormbringer. But if you ask me, Stormbringer is pretty close to Strominger, which is the last name of the physicist who is credited with coming up with the name “Calabi-Yau.” Only Strominger was referring to the tiny spaces that, at least according to string theory, house the universe’s hidden “internal” dimensions. He was not talking about a starship in a comic book series. Still the coincidence is there. And, oddly enough, it reared its ugly head on none other than Freaky Friday. Which makes this a Double Coincidence, Extra Freaky Friday.
