What's the deal with your nickname? How did you get it? If your nickname is self-explanatory, then tell everyone when you first started using the internet, and what was the first thing that made you say "wow, this isn't just a place for freaks after all?"

Another favorite quote from a sheer genius who could transform complex language into sheer poetry:

But the way those atoms are put together
The cosmos is also within us
We're made of star stuff
We are a way for the cosmos to know itself."
-- Carl Sagan
