I don't know if it's relevant, but I'm a professional developer and I randomly found this in one of the java classes I was using; I wonder if the character name choice wasn't maybe a clever hidden reference to the world of computer programming:

/**


 * EventDispatchThread is a package-private AWT class which takes


 * events off the EventQueue and dispatches them to the appropriate


 * AWT components.




 * The Thread starts a "permanent" event pump with a call to


 * pumpEvents(Conditional) in its run method. Event handlers can choose to


 * block this event pump at any time, but should start a new pump (not


 * a new EventDispatchThread) by again calling pumpEvents(Conditional). This


 * secondary event pump will exit automatically as soon as the Condtional


 * evaluates to false and an additional Event is pumped and dispatched.
