But on looking it up, I see that you're right. The food was named for the 4th Earl, whom the Hawaiian islands were also named for. But the Earl was named for Sandwich in Kent, not vice versa. I recently emailed Gary: >> Here's a trivia question for you: A river and a town in Virginia >> are named for James I. But he's better known for his edition of >> the Bible. What, if anything, has been named for James II? > Was it the Jacobites? Yes and no. They supported him, then his son who was also named James, then his grandson Charles. But I was thinking of something in the US. Hint: It's often not obvious from the name who something is named for. The state I live in was named for Elizabeth I, the state to my immediate south was named for Charles I, and the state to my immediate north was named for Herietta Maria. That state's largest city is named for Cecil Calvert. The Australian state named for Queen Alexandrina has a capital city named for William Lamb. The capital of New Zealand was named for Arthur Wellesly. He got the correct answer, though I didn't mention that every city I mentioned has hosted a Worldcon. -- Keith F.
