Pondering the existence of another cool science fiction information highway destination, io9, I began wondering how their name came about exactly.
Is it a play on the classic flesh-staining antibiotic, tincture of iodine?
Is there a site dedicated to weight gain called io8?
It’d be similar to that ancient Van Hagar album, "Oh, You Ate One, Too," or as many drunk VH fans called it back in the day, "Oh, You Ate Twelve."

Oh, how I loathe Van Hagar! *shakes fist menacingly*
Kudos if you caught the Jane’s Addiction reference (track 5).
