H1N1 and bacon wrapped oysters

First, why is this dish referred to as angels on horseback, and by whom? In real life, I mean.

Second, do you poach the oysters before wrapping them in bacon? Do you broil the darlings or do them in a pan of oil? Do you bread them for extra crunch?

Does properly cooked mean deliciously cooked? I hope so. Clearly it does if you are at Porchetta.
