, to be the source for the name Aaron, which is my name, .


Sorry, E.M., but you didn't quite read this post properly. I know it's confusing, but there it is.

As for "legion", when Jesus went out into the desert for 40 days and 40 nights, the devil appeared before him to tempt him with all kindsa stuff. When Jesus asked him who he was, he's reply was "My name is legion".
I have always loved this answer, and use it when someone asks me my name. I guess it fell flat on this occasion.
By the by, my name is (under construction:watch this space).

You must be soooooooooooo sick of people riffing on your name. I extend my sympathies, and apologise on be-half of all those geese that have or will do it.

Not to be a "goose" but do you speak French? If I were you, I would have learned any language BUT French...merely to spite my own nomological fate!

Actually, I don't speak any other languages because I'm not in high school yet and no one else has taught me, but I want to learn lots of languages, including french, as a matter of fact.

I thought your name was phillosopher. How wrong you can be.

I named my son Eric. A fine name, indeed it is.

My wife would never allow it, but I'd love to name two children after my profession...Philo for a boy and Sophia for a girl.

But that'll never fly. Nor will Aristotle...

What about Plato or Socrates? I think that is quite interesting and a good idea. Socrates isn't a bad name, unconvential yes, bad no.

This has nothing to do with the topic. But PE, when did you become a forum moderator?

Last week, I believe. Not very long, to be sure. The days blend together at the end of the term, but I was voted the ultimate recognition by the Foreign Press (it matters because it comes from your PEERS!) and I took on the ultimate responsibility...of doing the same thing I was doing before...hanging out in the Forums and engaging in fun chat with all y'all.

Craig Luft is a strong name. It befits a fellow of your magnitude, Buck.

I assumed the mantle of “Megatron” following my triumph in the Rigel Colony Mining War in Sector 2. My previous identity is no more. You may address me as “Lord Megatron” or simply “Megatron”.

I went to school with a guy named Aristotle, but everyone just called him Aris. I hate when people contract names, it's lazy and disrespectful.
