Edelliseen kirjoitukseeni saamani kommentin johdosta lienee syytä paneutua Mikä-Mikä-Maahan hieman tarkemmin, eli kun nyt pilkkua alettiin viilata, niin viilataan sitten kunnolla. Wikipedia kertoo englanniksi Neverlandista seuraavaa:
Neverland (also spelled Never Land or expanded as Never Never Land) is a fictional world featured in the works of J. M. Barrie and those based on them. It is the dwelling place of Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, the Lost Boys, and others. Although not all people in Neverland cease to age, its best known resident famously refused to grow up, and it is often used as a metaphor for eternal childhood (and childishness), immortality, and escapism.
It was introduced as 'the Never Never Land' in 1904 performances of the theatre play Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up by Scottish writer J. M. Barrie. In his 1911 novelization Peter and Wendy, Barrie referred to 'the Neverland', and its many variations were 'the Neverlands'. (Viivimarinoitu huomautus: Ei pidä sotkea the Netherlands'iin eli Hollantiin!) In the earliest drafts of Barrie's play, the island was called 'Peter's Never Never Never Land', a name possibly influenced by the contemporary term for outback Australia. In the 1923 published version of the script, it was shortened to 'the Never Land'.
Ja lopuksi voimme vielä jatkaa saksankurssiamme asian tiimoilta: Neverland on saksaksi Nimmerland.

Hmm, tarkoittaako tämä nyt sitä, että Peter Pan ja Michael Jackson ovatkin sama henkilö.
Be afraid, be very afraid...
