He was lucky Orion never ate him....

ROTFL! Never thought of that! Guess the old boy never dared to get out of his 'human' suit, eh?

Orion's Belt is called "The Three Kings" (or "The Magi") in some places and, in South America, it is known as "Las Tres Marias" or "As Três Marias" (The Three Marys), in honor of Mary of Nazareth, Mary Magdalene, and Mary of Bethany, three major New Testament figures.

Don't think it's going to be powered the same way, however....
