In the account, his mother named him Jumbo Jr. , but the other elephants called him Dumbo, after an English pun on dumb ("fool"). 2º_ It is also the name of a neighborhood in New York City (USA) that comes from the acronym for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass, precisely the place where it is located. 3º_ It is a common name for the octopus Grimpoteuthis, which has two fins similar to ears like those of the elephant in the story and the movie.

recaptcha: It is an improved captcha version. In principle I used two test texts, one is the traditional one, distorted so that it can only be recognized by one person, but the second is not a test but a collaboration, a word that OCR book digitization services do not recognize and offer it for people who use a captcha to decipher them; for if the first is correct it can be assumed that the latter is also correct. This is not really a validation method, it only took advantage of one to collaborate with the creation of digital books, so later it did include other interactions such as following the movement of a pointer or the historical behavior of a user on the network.
