The insinuation of it is malicious, in a malicious kind of way.
Cthulhu is supposed to be the eater of the world and of humankind, of course, so his name, grouped in that way, is rudely ambiguous. [...]

Lovecraft 101
via Boy in the Machine -
he’s finally entering the curriculum, if in a…well…mythological manner.

Yeah, that’s exactly what Volkswagen automobiles are known as over here in Germany – chariots of the Gods, even multi-tentacled ones like Cthulhu. Just so as not to create confusion – Miskatonic University is in Massachussetts, and enrollment is extremely competitive.
