A Bantam is a discontinued line of small motor-cycle made by the British
Small Arms Company. It sold reasonably well.
It is also a small, noisy, scrawny chicken.
Homunculus is a short human person, not otherwise deformed. As I'm not so
affected I don't often get called a short ass.! LOL
I have an Austin Healey Sprite. Some friends have them and others have MG
Midgets. I'll leave it at that. :-)
Anyway, who cares whether or not a 'Midget is not a Personal Computer
anymore.'
