Wow, that is an insane trivia pull. I didn't even know Castle in the Sky was partially based on Gullivers Travels, let alone the additional lore. I gotta put some extra respect on Jonathan Swift's name. I had previously mainly associated him with A Modest Proposal, which is an incredibly clever satirical work in its own right.
