| |  Where does your nick come from?
I dunno if you knew the well-known games "The King of Fighters" (K.O.F.) (Play Station.)
K.O.F. '99 has a character which name is Krizalid, then I liked that name and I just took it 
(My nick has absolutely nothing to do with my avatar, since I really like gogeta, I just took that image.) |

There is nothing to explain about me. It is easy to see why I chose it. I was not very creative because I had a question to ask a long time ago when I joined, that was it. I never assumed I was going to answer questions.
But I hate people that but numbers into their nickname, because it shows they are not creative to come up with a name that was not taken. |

Anyways, I am uncreative, and it's tough to remember different user names and passwords across the internet, so I stayed consistent with past naming conventions.

Mine is like an acronym of my name and surname.

A brief keyboard mash, with vowels inserted (and I think an extraneous out-of-place consonant or two removed) to make the word pronounceable. |

I don't know why I chose my nick, I didn't put much thought into it. I wanted something which was not copied off something else and something which was unbiased.

Does anyone really want me to go into some of the details of supersymmetry and explain what a top squark is? (It'll take a good while for me to type, so I'm just going to be lazy and assume that no one wants me to. )
(And for those at least slightly in the know, no I'm not talking about a "strange" quark. A squark is a completely different slithy tove. It gyres and gimbles in the wabe in a more uffish fashion.)

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain." - The Litany Against Fear, "Dune" by Frank Herbert |

...just messing with you, topsquark 
where did my name come from, well, there was this great and mighty king, long ago. Jhevon was the name of his dog's trainer's step-sister's cousin's best friend's uncle, who happened to be a great, but unknown, mathematician. i liked him, so i stole his name | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
