Humour behind Lemar's name

[bemac]

I think Lemar is name after 50's actress Hedy Lemar

 

[Spartan]

It's "Lamar," not "Lemar" if I remember correctly...

I shot that headcrab bitch in fron of Kleiner's face. There was blood... but the crab lives on...

 

[(Fragger)]

Exactly. Some tardos think it's about the character from "Blazing Saddles", which was also about Hedy Lamarr. (The joke about the character's name, not the movie).

Cheat, then you can kill it, Kleiner just acts as if nothing happened (instead of flying into a mad-scientist rage as I hoped).

Actually, it is "Lamarr". But yeah, Dr. Kleiner named his pet headcrab after the inventor/actress, Hedy Lamarr.
