for my 500th post I thought I'd give you all a treat! A genuine opportunity to find out where CE got her name! If everyone already knew this and I am just exposing my ignorance just tell me and I'll delete it
As for actually making this thread worthwhile and not get killed off as useless spam I will add the extra feature of a bit about names. Where did you get your SYM handle from? If that's not interesting enough, we can also discuss where your real names came from and what they mean...(if you want but please noone give out information which will enable other people to track them down or endanger them at all)...
so to start us off I'm called Frogus cos me real name's Fergus, meaning 'man of strength' (despite getting a negative number in Sleep's stud test). I was named after the poet and left-hand man of legendary Irish hero Finn MacHaille (pronounced MacCool)...if anyone's interested... anyway, have fun!

I quote: C. elegans is about as primitive an organism that exists which nonetheless shares many of the essential biological characteristics that are central problems of human biology.
You are treading dangerous waters there buddy.

Come not between the Witch King and his prey, or he will not slay thee in thy turn, but will bear thee away to the houses of lamentation, beyond all darkness, where thy flesh shall be devoured, and thy shrivelled mind be left naked to the lidless Eye.
Weasel : From misbehaving in school...Hit and run missions.. Take basketball for an example. Let the two teams get to play real good then toss another ball in.
Michael : Named after my father. I would guess it's from the bible.
"Vile and evil, yes. But, That's Weasel" From BS's book, MD 20/20: Fine Wines of Rocky Flop.
Michael - From the Hebrew name Mikha'el meaning "who is like God?". This was the name of one of the seven archangels in Hebrew tradition and the only one identified as an archangel in the Bible. In the Book of Revelation in the New Testament he is portrayed as the leader of heaven's armies, and thus is considered the patron saint of soldiers. This was also the name of eight Byzantine emperors and a czar of Russia.
so there you go!
@WK no worries...CE is completely past that whole adolescent stage of being offended when people call her about the most primitive organism that exists...right CE?

So I just stood and listened.
Ode to a Grasshopper-taken from the song The End, by the Doors. The Ode to a Grasshopper segment is only on the Live version, though. There's a store devoted exclusively to Doors memorabilia called Grasshopper, in Amsterdam I think.

Aegis: Latin for Shield. I just like the word, so I chose it as my name. Also, I originally played a Paladin, and felt the name was suited to the whole holy-than-thou act Paladins have.

I have a rather pointless question for you Aegis.
Is there some connection between "aegis" and "cold"?
I have a couple of reasons to think there is.
1.)I've known two people who use the name Aegis online. Both are Canadian.
2.)I was looking at the IWD2 feats at the BIS board and saw the feat "Aegis of..." and it provides protection against cold.

Ain't she wonderful? ¬_¬
