* After rewatching ''[[O Brother, Where Art Thou?]]'', I realized the irony of the governor being named after Menelaus, Helen's husband from [[The Iliad]]. The Menelaus of lore started the Trojan War, the reason why Odysseus left home in the first place, but the Menelaus of the film pardons our heroes and gives them legitimate work, allowing them to come home. - [[User:Slacker Spice]]
** Wait, who? The Governor was "Pappy" O'Daniel and they named the character after the former Governor of Texas.
*** It gets maybe one mention, when the audience hears the sign off of his radio show, but the governor's name is Menelaus "Pappy" O'Daniel.
