  Re: What's in a name?
 
(...) That's pretty cool, and it ranks as one of the most obscure facts I've learned lately. Are you confident of the spelling? I'm not doubting you (since I have no basis for comparison) but I'd like to look into it a bit further. Thanks for the (...) (24 years ago, 20-Mar-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
 
  Re: What's in a name?
 
(...) I dunno if there's a link to He Who Wrote Jurassic Park, but a kryton (I dunno about the spelling and dictionary.com hasn't offered a non-Krypton alternative) is a device used in the fuse on a nuclear warhead... Cheers, - jsproat (24 years ago, 20-Mar-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
 
  What's in a name?
 
I haven't given this too much thought, and someone has probably already explored this at length, but here goes. Off the top of my head I can think of three (it was four, but now I can't remember one) SF series in which a lead character was named (...) (24 years ago, 20-Mar-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

Chris & All, (...) Cool. It was a rather neat show, I think WGN from Chicago played it until the mid 90's, or something. (...) Hey, no problem. Glad to help, Lord knows I had days like that. (...)

  Re: Happy St. Patrick's Day!
 
(...) Awesome. That reminds me of a line in Harrison Ford remake of _The Fugitive_ -- "Why can't they die the river blue the other 364 days of the year?" (...) At first I read that as, "Eventually, we threw up and gave most of the bottles away." :-) (...) (24 years ago, 19-Mar-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
 
  Re: Happy St. Patrick's Day!
 
(...) I would drink green lager, but Guinness doesn't dye green easily. That reminds me of a funny story... my freshman year in college, some friends of mine and I wanted to drink Green Beer on St. Paddy's Day. We went down to the grocery to get (...)

  Re: BattleBots
 
Guilty as charged! I recently prototyped my latest 210lb fighting robot, Towering Inferno, in LEGO. It's got a pretty radical design, so I decided to build it in LEGO first to even see if it would work. LEGO Towering Inferno pics: (URL) Towering (...)
