Possible orgin of the phrase "Secret Six"

This just in from the history channel. Secret Six: A group of six Chicago businessmen determined to take down Al Capone. See Irony. :biggrin:

Until recently I thought it just came from the Secret Seven book series.

When I first heard the books title I originally thought of the Capone "Secret Six"

Even though they have nothing to do with Gail's Secret six, though they might be a republicans, so maybe they do have something in common. :biggrin:

ARGH I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU.

I was GOING to make a post about how I saw a sign about Illinois' Secret Six, but NO, you went and beat me.

JERK.

I suppose the name could've been inspired by the Capone guys. Although it's an obvious bit of alliterative wordplay, in the same vein as "Fantastic Four", "Fatal Five", "Terrible Trio", et. al.

Y'all know about DC's original Secret Six series (http://comics.org/covers.lasso?SeriesID=1855), right?

The Saddle Club had him in their sights too.
