The Titanican Sea God (a bloated grouper) was named "Teufel" ("Devil" for those not in the know), but to these American ears, the name sounded like "Tie-phoo" or "Tie-phoe". Ian found this British import tea and gave it to me for my birthday this year. The gag made me chortle.
I always wonder why Troy Tempest didn't simply kick in the glass on Teufel's aquarium? "Hey Titanians . . . your god is flopping around and gasping on the floor."

Well, the action figure on the left is Titan from "Stingray", so I guess a pun involving "Typhoo" is involved. But my cleverness chip needs replacing.

Okay, now I got it.

What?! Do all that action with only one Marine Minute left?
It would've been worth it to see X20 coming in with a bucket and mop.
