Geoff:
The anomaly here is that "sinistra" is Latin for "on the left" and, 
of course, since left-handed people were considered to be odd or 
untrustworthy, it has given rise to the modern meaning of "sinister".

Does this imply that Professor Sinistra is left-handed or has some 
connection with the left-hand. just off the top of my head, hasn't 
someone written a book called "The Left Hand of Darkness" - Ursula 
LeGuin perhaps or am I just imagining things?
