The trouble with Google is that it spoils all the fun. If you think you've come up with a fantastic pun, it's one thing to guess that probably someone else had thought of it before, but it's quite another to have Google actually tell you who and when.

(It just occurred to me to wonder whether there'd ever been a kill-or-cure asthma treatment called Vlad the Inhaler.)

OTOH Google also reveals that quite a lot of people think the guy was called "Vlad the Impeller"...
