Then a real USAF Captain Craig Button died in a mysterious plane crash. 8~~~-({

And the psuedoscience crowd decided it was caused by alien mind rays from Area 51 or something.

The Secret Origin Of Captain Button

Captain Button is a superhero-style nickname friends gave me because of all the witty buttons I wore. I am not a real captain of any of the nautical, military, paramilitary, or industrial varieties.

I adopted it as my net.handle.

At one point if you asked a search engine for "captain button" I was maybe one third of the results, along with the European "discoverer" of Manitoba, and various false hits.
