Somehow, I never pictured you as a "rump-fed ronyon", Daividh. Although an anagram of that is a "furry porn demon". :)
Glad that website was helpful, but I'm surprised you hadn't found it already, yourself, with the way you're always promoting Google. I'll tell ya my secret: I went to Google and used the keywords "Huub" and "namen". ;)

So "namen" is the secret, huh? Which reminds me: I read a coupla weeks back about a major survey that was done recently in Japan, asking 1,000s of people to name the greatest achievements, developments, or inventions of the 20th century.
The automobile? The bullet train? Polio vaccine? The Kawasaki torpedo bomber? Nope -- their choices were: instant noodles, video games, and Akira Kurosawa.
(I have this terrifying image of Toshiro Mifune, dressed as a samurai, slurping pork ramen and playing Final Fantasy XXVII. The mind boggles.)
Of course, it's easy to feel superior (the Nipponese and French have done it for centuries). But what do you suppose AMERICANS would come up with in a similar survey? I don't want to think about it.

THIS IS A GRAT SITE BUT YOU COULD ADD MORE THINGS TO IT
SO WHEN DOING THIS KIND OF STUFF WE HAVE MORE TO CHOOSE FROM

I concur that Kurosawa is one of Japan's milestones of the century. Polls usually capture the least common denominator of mediocrity, and its cool that Akira is included.
I my choices would include disposable diapers.

No argument at all from me on Kurosawa, either, altho I've probably let slip in the past that I'm more than a bit of a Kurosawa buff and Mifune as well; they were a cinematic package deal for thirty years, after all. But INSTANT NOODLES? Would we include "pudding cups" in our top three? (probably...)

@@@@ That's very interesting, Daividh.

@@@@ But you did ask, nevertheless! I dunno what AMERICANS might have chosen, but I think I can tell you what JAPANESE ANAGRAMMISTS would have chosen:
Dissonant Elton, aged movies, and the Amerasian ovum-wok.
