CRAP

The current spelling of " Jessica, " first used for Shylock's daughter in The Merchant of Venice, was not Shakespeare's idea.
" Jessica " is a variation of the traditional Jewish name " Jescha. "

Guillotines were still being used in France for criminal executions as late as the year Star Wars: A New Hope premiered.

Jesus tapdancing Christ... how is taking "Iescha" and turning it into "Jessica" NOT equal to making up a new name? Iessica (in Shakespeare's writing) had NEVER been written before. If I take Billy and turn it into Pillai, that's a new name...

CRAP!


(Watch I'll get this one right because ANH came out in 1977 but France chopped someone's head off in 1978)


(I wonder if the writers of this calendar are French and were personally affected by guillotines)
