Question

This question has been of interest for a long time - where did these funny names of the authors of the articles in the Sandbox come from? Is it just that or is it some kind of reference to something (a literary work, some kind of forum, an Internet meme, etc.)?

Buendia - there is such a character in the work "One Hundred Years of Solitude" by the Colombian writer Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Only there is Colonel Aureliano Buendia. Excellent book, I recommend reading it.
