I'm sure the two nice Jewish boys, Siegel and Schuster, probably had that in mind when creating their Ubermensch. (I'm sure they were making fun of Hitler too... okay, at least Nietzsche)

Many years ago I found an article in the National Geographic magazine about a stone-age tribe of ex-cannibals in the New Guinean jungle, and the missionary—Father somebody-or-other—who was leading and discipling his flock into the Catholic fold. And the transubstantiation of the Eucharist was his Touchpoint for meeting these cannibals with the Gospel.
It raises a Protestant eyebrow, certainly, but God even made a donkey talk to bring his people into line once. Why *not* "long pig"?
Not as of the time of writing, at least. The rag of record for armchair anthropology had then-current photos of the shepherd and his flock, and had he been a la carte he'd have had a larger blurb in the article, methinks.
I've been told that the Hebrew suffix '-el' means 'of God'. Hence synagogues named 'Bethel', the archangel 'Michael', etc.
And Superman's name is 'Kal-el'. Hmmmm.....

Sounds like a Jesuit who got eaten.
