Normalization rules can be fall down in the real-world. I double there's 
any normal form that dictates putting table names as strings in another 
table. :)

I remember studying normal forms in college and thinking, "What? This is 
just common sense. Why do we need a text book for this?" I think I 
applied the same reasoning to this problem as well.
