Re: what did i miss?!?!?!
Sweetie, the offices of patent attorneys worldwide are crowded wtih people who genuinely believe that they have invented something new, only to find that it's been done a zillion times over. Name games are fun and we all play them, but try using a dictionary or two as well. Tantalus, for instance, comes from classical antiquity all right, you might also like to check the myths, but it also entered English as a name for a sort of box in which you could lock your bottles of booze so that the servants couldn't have little quick swigs when you weren't looking, though the contents were on view.

...Yea ok 'hun'. I didnt envent any of those names, I never said i did. I found them, that name came out of a book, and it was a Roman name in the book.
The book is The History of the Wife, so its not some ficional novel, its based on real people and events.
So why dont you keep your mind in your own buisness.
I didnt ask for any opinions did i?
And the offices of theropists dealing with over analyzing, grouchy, rude, people that stick their noses where they don't belong are awfully full too so make ur oppointment soon.~Silver
