FLUKE -- it all seems a little fishy

Rush Limbaugh's recent target of opprobrium has a demonstrably unusual surname: FLUKE.

FLUKE can mean one of several things
1) a flat fish, similar to a flounder.




2) one of the triangular plates of iron inside the anchor which enter the ground and hold the ship in place--so named because the resemble in shape the fluke fish.
3) in billiards: a successful stroke made by accident or chance, more generally, any thing accomplished by luck or chance. (and the origin of this one is unknown).
