I was at a bar some time ago, a kareoke was taking place (BACK SATAN!) at the time and i happened to notice a song about Macheath, Jack the knife.
Since i've never seen it mentioned anywhere else i wondered if this dodgy song was where you got the name from..

(actually i've probably asked this before but you didn't see it, SO YOU'D BETTER SEE IT THIS TIME)
Why this post?
it's 16:27 and i needed to kill 3 mins
