"The forest creatures pause in awe as the mighty Beaver passes.
 They stare from rock and fallen log, from tree top and from grasses.
 The bear, the fox, and buffalo, and all their feathered neighbors,
 Bend a knee and bow a head,
 And somewhere grateful prayers are said,
 For every creature hoped to see the Beaver as it passes."

I know what you're thinking... :D

But honestly, it was more about this: http://homepage.mac.com/cparada/GML/DIOSCURI.html

You tell me where the fish part came from - though I don't mind it at all, it's actually fun.

Though truth be told, I though this one up a kid, when such words like laser sounded cool - I try to find out ever since what it actually means.

It could be FLuor-Laser, or 15nm-laser since F stands for 15 in hexa.

Kosh is a character (my favorite) from Babylon 5.
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

Was playing the Hostile Waters demo some years ago (when it was new) and liked the name Ransom of one of the characters. So I started to use that. Then one day I was playing Escape Velocity Nova and wanted a last name to go with it, to make it look like the name of a person rather than a demand for money. I liked the word 'arcane' so I thought up Arceihn on the spot because it's just a really weird spelling of it. Then it kinda stuck and wouldn't let go. An added bonus is it's prone to being mispelled, such as 'Random Arceihn', and very few people seem to be able to get the Arceihn right (the h always seems to get put in the wrong place).

Well, I wanted to be Sesquipedalian, but that was taken.  So I just registered with the first thing that popped into my head, and it stuck. :)

And I'll bet that when asked you'd say "My name,  is Ransom" just like in the game :D
