Now you will find I will answer to Deb or Emily.

now see THAT makes sense! Confusing to most people I'm sure, but it DOES make sense!

I've been debating on going for something different next forum I register with. Guybrush_Threepwood brings back many good memories from years past.

Mine is a little different name but has an amusing origin. Many years ago my little niece was about 5 or 6 and for a couple years she had a lisp. One day we were bugging each other when she said "Your crazy Uncle Kevin" I returned with "no your crazy" She countered "you belong in a crazy hospital" I said "you mean an insane asylum" And she said" Yes a zane zylumn" Well we laughed about that for a while and it stuck in my head. Some time later I was playing an online game and wanted to be alphabetically last so used this name. I learned I never needed to be zylumn1 or zylumn101 whenever I needed a login name somewhere; so it has stuck with me for many years. And your right "What is in a Name" fo me.
Memory of a 5 year old niece.

Well Mine is neat and I have always liked it since my Dungeon & Dragons days when I wsa a young scamp.

ASMODEUS: ITs actually HEBREW for POWER!!!!!!!

(Ok old picture now since the tank's not quite this empty anymore, .. but .. check out above the tank. I've had this poster for nearly 20 years now. I love Talbot's photos..)


One of my favourite Talbot dolphins shot was one surfing the bow wave of a huge ship .. unfortunately the years weren't quite as kind to that poster, I need to get a new one of it.
Woodcarver - those are insane! I agree - I'm not convinced those aren't real birds you just took a picture of. Very nice!!

I have a painting , that was drawn by a dolphine in the aquarium.
They gave him a brush and he just went on painting! Then another brush with different color. looks pretty good to me.
Let me know if you'd like a picture of it.

I never thought much of that but yeah wow that's quite a different hue to it. I think the picture of the one of my wall looks basically like the real one on my wall, but the linked in photo was from a website that sells the posters so you'd think that would be pretty accurate. Maybe mine has faded out over the years (it's just drymounted, no frame or glass, so I guess the odds it being not faded after 15-16 years or whatever it is, are not that good.. )
