It could mean something quite dubious in French!  Still, that arch-baddy was known as Robotnik in France.

I've found why! Good old Wikipedia:

And all because of the Beatles (kookookudju)

 Brilliant sig, Isis! All these hours in front of your PC are not wasted!

PS. I wasn't being a bully earlier.... I was talking from experience: when I picked up my youngest at playschool today, another little girl had a coat the same shade of pink as the border-table-top and -bottom, on the site I'm currently writing ! I should get out more, I know

   Isis! You really should get out... then again, you might see a little bit of sunshine, a glimmer of hope and faint promise of the spring to come and think to yourself "Hmm that bit of sky is the same colour as my sig!"
