  Actually, in connection with some perspectives in
_Science_ or _Nature_ -- I forget, and didn't get
copies -- this is a matter of "If you fork me over a
thousand quid, I'll let you name a fish..." It's
selling rights to naming things, not honoring patrons.

  Dinosaurs are horrible, terrible creatures! Even the
  fluffy ones, the snuggle-up-at-night-with ones. You think
  they're fun and sweet, but watch out for that stray tail
  spike! Down, gaston, down, boy! No, not on top of Momma!
