Aw, come on guys, here is somebody praising R and trying to help us move 
into the Age of Facebook and that stuff and not remain stuck in the 
previous century when you could just pick a letter of the alphabet and 
wait for everyone else to get the joke.

you might have to pick through a few pages of hits about the Romanoff 
family to get your hits, but think of the image.
