So looking at it that way, a classic madman would think himself as Napolean Bonapate for some reason.<br /> I was thinking as the character of Napolean Bonaparte, a role played by Kenneth Griffiths in 'The Man On The Rock {1975}.<br /><br /> You mentioned Bond Villains. For me, the plot idea for 'The Girl Who Was Death' appears to be a rip=off of Ian Flemings 'Thunderball!'<br /><br />Regards<br />David<br />BCNUDavid Stimpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15196038086564981619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036104775563265647.post-15123497022768064102012-12-14T09:59:36.581+00:002012-12-14T09:59:36.581+00:00I'm not sure Schnipps was identified as French...I'm not sure Schnipps was identified as French was he? The classic "mad scientist" is often Germanic in the Anglo-cliche derived from the likes of our fictional Dr. Frankenstein or the real-life Alfred Einstein - who came to look a bit batty, with his wild hair. <br /><br />Dressing as Napoleon was just a jokey allegory for the thirst for "world domination" of the Bond villains. Thinking you are Napoleon was/is also a classic trope of the lunatic - or schizophrenic.Moor Larkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05275057917684784541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036104775563265647.post-33281018600536503292012-12-14T09:00:46.381+00:002012-12-14T09:00:46.381+00:00It is a German word.

German "Kneipchen" is a small knife for peeling of potatoes. But all this hardly explains why that name was chosen. Probably it's because of the personality, the character: "schippisch" = "snippy". - BCNU!nr6dehttp://www.nummer6-theprisoner.denoreply@blogger.com
