Interestingly, Tobin was in the U.S. Navy with Herman Wouk, who in his later novel The Caine Mutiny (1951) created a character after Tobin: “A mandarin-like midshipman named Tobit, with a domed forehead, measured quiet speech, and a mind like a sponge, was ahead of the field by a spacious percentage.” Not sure how this fits into the etymology though. --Bequw → τ 04:24, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
