So does the fish, the space hamster and, worst of all, the screaming husk head.
Heck, it would be a comedy gold if during the romance/sex scene Mr. Husk Head let out a shriek
I can totally see that happening with Jack.

Not sure it relates yet but noticed an article while I was looking at the city:
HMS Cardiff[/i]Three ships of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS Cardiff[/i][/b], after the Welsh capital city,Cardiff:HMS Cardiff (1652) was a 34-gun ship, previously the Dutch ship Fortune[/i]. She was captured in 1652 by HMS Tiger[/i] and was sold in 1658.HMS Cardiff[/i] (1917) was a C class light cruiserlaunched in 1917 and broken up in 1946.HMS Cardiff[/i] (D108) was a Type 42 (Batch 1)destroyer launched in 1974. She was involved in the Falklands and Gulf Wars and participated in the build up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq. She was decommissioned in 2005, and sold for scrap.
The ships' motto is "Agris in cardine rerum" which translates as "Keen in emergency".
And here's my London (UK?) relevant
article.
"British forces have denied rumours that they released a plague of ferocious badgers into the Iraqi city of Basra.
Word spread among the populace that UK troops had introduced strange man-eating, bear-like beasts into the area to sow panic.
But several of the creatures, caught and killed by local farmers, have been identified by experts as honey badgers."
... Sorry, I'll stop now.

So; my playthrough is now taking me through ME2. And Joker said something that made me wonder: "Cerberus is about a three-headed dog, the guardian of hell and yet there's only one guy running it". Since TIM is indoctrinated and 'Cerberus is an idea'; possibly related to the three choices we make?
Actually, i believe they are named Cerberus because Cerberus was the guard dog of the gates of Hades, who the Romans calledPluto, which is the planetoid that the Charon Relay,the gateway to the galaxy, orbited. So basically it's them saying they are the guardians of Earth/humanity to make sure no threat passes through the gate.
Yes, you are correct. Most of our solar system is named after the Roman gods. Rome and Greece had the same gods but called them by different names. People tended to know those gods by their Roman names until they started naming planets after them, then the gods that got a planet named after them tended to be called by their Greek names instead to differentiate between planet and ancient deity. Charon is a real moon of Pluto, and the story in Mass Effect is that when we got there we discovered that "moon" was a mass relay encased in ice. When it was understood that it was a transportation device and it connected us to alien civilizations, Jack Harper (later known as The Illusive Man) spread some pro-human anti-alien propaganda. One of his most famous lines was a play on the Greek mythology angle: "We need a Cerberus for the Charon relay." That's how Cerberus got its name.

Does anyone know why the other VI is called vendetta? For vigil. The overall description fits. But for Vendetta I wonder if it was meant for the Protheans and indoctrinated Protheans instead of Prothean/reaper?
No, we don't know. It's a common theory that there's something wrong with Vendetta. Either the original Prothean he was designed from was indoctrinated, or the Reapers had already tampered with him, or something. The thing that really makes me doubt him is that the temple in Thessia has one of the strongest "ringing sound" (symptom of indoctrination) in the game.
