Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL that the pink Nintendo character is named Kirby after lawyer John Kirby who helped Nintedo with their lawsuit against Universal about the usage of the name "KONG"English

2·2 months agoYeah, there is a US Vacuum cleaner company called KIRBY.
I don’t know whether they’re still in business or of they’ve gone defunct.
But yeah, Kirby is also a vacuum company.
And apparently Nintendo’s cute little pink Blob being named Kirby like the vacuum cleaner is purely coincidental.

Okay, I’m not even into videogames like that (used to play Super Mario Bros 2 for the 3DS when I was 11 or so, but not anymore), but oh my stars this is awesome, I friggen love this!!
Did you do this yourself?
