Ho hum,

taking a stab at why despin is called despin could it be

Desp - short for DESPERATE
In - short for INDIVIDUAL ?

Wow, that's witty man.

Here's my attempt.

Despin is the name of a fictional drug in a script written along time ago by a guy called Dean.

right, my one's a long story.

My real name is Kyle McLAchlan (I go under psuedonyms to avoid confusion to the real one) but once at school we had a dyslexic teacher who mispronounced my name mQUACKlan.

So since then my friends have called me Ducky.

When I registered for yahoo mail I wanted to be called the laughingcow, but somebody had already taken that. I wanted to be called thelaughingduck, bur somebody had already taken that.

The year was 2001. You do the rest.
