	IIRC, he gives his name as both William and Irving in the comics, one when he's being held captive in issue #3, the other when he's hypnotized by Ratbat in "Car Wash Of Doom!". I forget which one he gives where, though. He also gives his Military I.D. number in issue #3, though. That'd make a nice addition to the article. Like I suggested, his actual name is probably William Irving or Irving William. Perhaps someone with military experience can shed some light on the usage of names by captured troops? (i.e., would he give his birth name or his preferred name, or what?) Either way, I'd assume the name he gave under hypnosis is accurate.

	: Four years later, I looked this up. Under the Geneva Convention, POWs are to give their "First names". So he could be William Irving OR Irving William. Or S. Irving William. I give up.

X-BoB has added that Sparkplug is killed in some drafts of hte movie. I've never heard this before, and it does not appear in the script. Can anybody cite a source for this info? X-BoB, do you know where you heard it?
