Oh, I see. Actually, I've never looked into this. The actual name is
a pun involving the not-so-great Altavista translation site Babelfish
and the magnificent organism of the same name known to readers of _The
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy_. If I'd known when I first put up
the site that it would take up so much of my time, I probably would've
picked a less jokey name.
