More Dirty Math

The finite simple group 2F4(2)' is also known as the Tits Group. If you run a Google search on Tits Group, your first hit will be an entry at Mathworld. Then will come a great deal of porno. I believe this group to be named after Jacques Tits, a Belgian mathematician who should never, ever have his own web page. Ever.

If one were to write a book about Jacques Tits' influence on module theory, one could call it Tits and Ass.
