Not Napoleon Dynamite, Napoleon Bonaparte! It's also a pastry. I beg of you, no.

I totally agree.

And wonder if anybody really thinks of Napoleon Dynamite before they think of, well, the Napoleon. LOL. :)

Perhaps people under 25 might... or those who've recently had the movie inflicted on them.

I'm under 25.

In fact, I'm 16. This does not, however, mean that I automatically think of Napoleon D. instead of Napoleon B., as you'll see from my last post on this topic. =) There are still *some* educated teenagers in this world!

that's where the key words "perhaps" and "might" come in... by no means does it mean all under 25 will think of ND before NB... just that those are the most likely to think of it because that's the age group that has a bunch of people obsessed with the movie for reasons beyond my understanding... However, not everyone in that age group has fallen into the obsession...
Either way, I wouldn't choose the name.
