Why do the "onsey-twosey"?

battlestar is a reference to BattleStar Galactica, and is a trademark
	of Universal Pictures
boggle is a trademark of Parker Brothers (just like the man page
	acknowledges)
mille is a reference to Mille Bournes, a trademark of (I can find out
	if I have to...)
monop is a reference to Monopoly, a trademark of Parker Brothers
phantasia is a homonym for Fantasia, a trademark of Walt Disney Productions

rogue is a character in "The X Men", and is a trademark of the
	Marvel Entrtainment Group
tetris is a computer game, and is a trademark.
trek is a reference to StarTrek, and is a trademark of Paramount.
wargames is a movie title, and is a trademark of MGM/UA.

yp is a trademark of British Telecom.  Delete that, why don't you --
	or rename it to NIS, a trademark of Sun Microsystems.

Bah humbug.
