i should think many more people nowadays would immediately think of the 
Na'avi from Avatar (or even the Andorians from Star Trek), rather than 
woad-covered Picts, when they see the word "Blueskins". The Na'avi were 
good basketball players. Something to do with being 9 feet tall, I 
suspect. I bet they'd be good at baseball too.
