	Laputa usually means a floating island, first time mentioned in Jonathan Swift's 'Gulliver's Travels'.

12 Jun 2008	Ezra Urk the Gurk Fulford	Loading... it also means, "the *****" in Spanish. This is according to a friend of mine, so the information is suspect, but I think he’s right. It’s very likely, given Swift’s way of satire, that he was well aware of the Spanish meaning (In the book, Gulliver claimed Spanish was one of the languages he knew).
