Talk:Splinter

I'm pretty sure Splinter was named after Masaccio, not a derivative of Stick as suggested.

I googled this subject after reading up about Masaccio and remembering the name from TMNT, despite it being nearly 20 years ago since I last watched the cartoon as a kid. The fact that Masaccio was so influential in early renaissance and nicknamed the Splinter makes him more likely to be the inspiration for the name choice given the renaissance theme of the character.
