Mac is short for mackintosh (somebody said it was slang for raincoat, which it is, I'm just being nitpicky :)
Anyway, they were invented by some Scottish guy named Charles Macintosh in the early 1800's (1824?? Something like that.) They added the 'k' later. Also, British people call Wellingtons (which are boots) 'wellies'. British people are cool. I wish I was British.
Wow, I just realized exactly how boring I am. Oh, well. So, back on topic, Penny Lane is a good song and I had it stuck in my head for a really, really long time.
