Pic of Nessus

You know, I always thought you must have taken the name from Greek mythology. There's a centaur called Nessus who tries to rape the wife of Hercules (I hope I'm remembering all this right) and Hercules kills him. Before Nessus dies, he dips his shirt in his blood and told the wife that she should give it to Hercules and then he would never love anyone but her. She waited a while, I think, finally got jealous and gave it to her husband, but of course, it turned out not to be a love potion but a very powerful poison.
 
I like larry Niven's books. Have you ever read A world out of Time???
 
Very interesting, Nessus. I was thinknig that maybe it would be cool to start a thread about the origins of everyone's name on here- what do you think?
 
You know I've read that book years ago and forgot all about it, I'll have to reread it I remember it being a good book.


Wasn't one of the character's called a "Kazin" or something like that ?
 
How did you put that picture in without attaching it? I haven't been able to figure that out.

Excellent idea - you start are you really a Little Minx?:D
Lol I've been called it before ;)
I guy I used to date (still friends with him, he's half in-love with me still) called me that... he's also called me sex kitten, tiger, etc... but I always liked Lil Minx the best- it reminds me of something a gorgeous pirate would call his beautiful, feisty slave after he took her aboard and tried to have his way with her and she fought him (sorry about the runon sentence). Alas, that will never happen to me, but I can dream, can't I? Or at least roleplay ;)
 
Hmmm, I guess b/c it's sexy, playful and fun :) also use it as a handle for other things- e-mail, aol, etc...

Actually, I think that was done already. But what hell, we never had a Y2K1 version.
