Eponyms

Eponyms, for those of you that don't know (I didn't know two days ago), eponyms are words derived from someone's name (i.e., sandwich, baud, and America). You can easily find information about eponyms on the web, including lists of eponyms. Reader's Digest has a nice article on eponyms in their current issue, which gave me the fuel for this post. Anyway, just another cool English thing I thought I'd share.
