First off, you're welcome. Secondly, Gaimon blew right by me! I know a little bit about Treasure Island, but not much, and I never would have thought about Gaimon and his treasure being a reference. All the others I feel like I knew at one point but just forgot about them. As for the kraken, it could be the giant squid, but I see it as coming from the Norse mythological creature first and foremost.
