  1. His vorpal blade went snicker-snack by arsheive · · Score: 2, Informative · on Vorpal Rabbit-o-Saurus

    This thing looks a lot like a jabberwock

  2. Re:The evidence is all around... by alienmole · · Score: 2 · on Scientific Battlegrounds in Diets
    Google searching to make up for my lack of Latin knowledge indicates:

    • "Liberalitas" is "the Roman goddess/personification of, variously, generosity, largesse, and social virtue".

    • "Liberi" are freemen - either born free (ingenui), or having been freed from slavery (libertini).
    So the four things would be books, free men, freedom/liberty, and generosity/social virtue. Well, that's six things, but chalk it up to my liberalitas.

    I never understood why they chose that name for a car.

    so is Christianity the only creationistic religion? No, it's just the most phillosophized about...



    I actually have quite the phillosophy on creation that coincides with evolution and personal powers of creation (software authorship)...



    you see the duality, balance, and divinity of creaiton is central to Neo-Paganism... in particular the universe exists because of the "sexual" union of dieties (remember the Greek Eros and Gaia?)



    modern Wicca embraces a simmilar creation idea, and Thelema even has a triumvate (father, son, spirit) simmilar to Christianity...

    for those of us stuck in deity-name-land, pantheon.org has some good stuff... no sumerian, though. :P

  7. Mythology is the Key.... by E-Rock · · Score: 1 · on I Want Names for my Servers!

    If it needs to be consistant then just dig up a mythology book, or hit the web. (I personally like http://www.pantheon.org/mythica/) I have a site based all around the story of Daedalus, if you spend a little time it can even make a bit of sense. King Minos and Queen Pasiphae for your PDC & BDC. Labyrinth for your firewall. Icarus for a departmental server (I don't like that department much). One recomendation, avoid using names from religions that are still practiced. People are really easy to piss off. I can just see a lawsuit because Brahma is the PDC not Jesus.
