That quite right, and one of the reasons the Brazilian Groo had twice as =
many jokes as the US one.
the name was "Groo O Errante" now Errante, can mean both "He who makes =
mistakes" and "He who wanders"
>From the Portuguese Errar -----> The verb that both means to make =
mistakes (Erros) and to wander
So Errante is the one that Erra.=20
I bet Mark didn't know that.
