That depends on how you mean related.  Structurally, English is
certainly germanic.  A great deal of the vocabulary, however, is
romance.  It filtered in after the Norman conquest.

	I have heard this too, though other people insist that New York
was called this long before Batman...

	This however I do know: Gotham is (or at least was) the name of
a town in England. I once read - in a book called *Society and Popular
Culture in Early Modern Europe*, I think it was - that in the 16th and
17th centuries just about every country in Europe had one town that was
considered the "town of idiots"... You know, the place everyone told the
local equivalent of Polish jokes about. I can't remember what they were
in any other country, but the one in England was definitely Gotham. 

	It sounds like there's an interesting history here, but I don't
know anything more than that. I hope someone else does.

True story to tie them together:  
Many years ago I worked with a guy who never washed his coffee cup (it
was one of those thick greenish glass mugs from, I think it was Jack in
the Box, some sort of bicentennial theme).  So he'd had this mug and
had daily coffee in it for at least a couple of years.  It was now
opaque with a standard thick black coffee stain.

So one day he decided to try a cup of Red Zinger tea.  Didn't like it
at all, and left the mostly-full mug overnight.  The next morning, he
poured out the cold Red Zinger tea, and the mug was spotless.  I always
wondered after that what Red Zinger tea does to the stomachs of those
who actually drink the stuff.

Well, actually you can get a lot of free time from those meters
that have to be wound by city employees.  This takes practice and necessity;
as you push the coin in hit the meter on the coin slot side.  When you time
it right, the spring slips and you can park there free until they wind 
it up again (it leaves the time that your coin gave you).  Worked for me for
the 6 months I lived in a downtown Seattle apartment
