	Nicks Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

What does your nick mean?
I'll explain you mine:

Sethos I. (or Seti I.), (I use this nick in other forums, but when I joined Apolyton, another guy had taken it)
Throne name Men-maat-re, Forever is the justice of Re. 1291-1278 BC ,son of Ramesses I., father of

Ramses II /english Ramesses II., Throne name User-maat-re Setep-en-re, Powerful is the justice of Re, Chosen by Re, 1279-1212 BC (67 years!)
Ramesses II. was followed by his 13th son, Merenptah

Both pharaos from the XIX. Dynasty. See [http://touregypt.net/19dyn03.htm], for example

I think chosing a pharao's name from the dawns of civilization is a good way to show his respect to that civ - and to all civs in general.

Tell me a little bit about your nick.

Ramses, are you good at Egiptology? Umm I love that.

Personally I find Ehnaton the most interesting, though, with his elder daughter being quite beautiful, as the rumors say.

Our multiplicity: when we first registered we misunderstood the ACS regulations about e-mail names and thought that SG(2)'s would be unacceptable so we used my work e-mail and both used the same ACS account - some time later my brat daughter SG{3} joined the club ""

There have been many. Not only in this forum, also at the Apolyton/Community and Off-Topic forums...

My nickname has to do with Civ2 maps and a famous cartographer...

(Is the "." used anywhere else than in Germany for indicating ordinal numbers?)

Scouses were sober two minutes later in another thread:

And so I wouldn't take them very seriously

In Czechia we write 1 000 000,123 (the spaces may be omitted)

But I was referring to the . in "ramses II." That dot indicates that it's "second" not "two". Is the dot in that meaning used anywhere else?

yep, so do we. in a colloquial sense we also say just "William two" sometimes, but that's rare. and yes, common phrasing is "the second"

My wrestling character name.

It came from my crush a few years ago on a girl named Beck. "Where It's At" being a song by artist Beck, the connection was (somehow) obvious.

Now it's a name for various accounts, email addys etc all over the Web.

I'm getting all confused myself too...
But I was the first with this avatar damnit! (But I shouldn't go fighting over Mr. Fortuyn )... I'll probably change it back after the elections tomorrow.

And the dot-thing isn't used in Holland either, it's only one of the few things I still remember from the German I had at school

@mercator
yes, II. means "the second" and so on (e.g. 21. - twenty-first,
so Wilhelm II. - Wilhelm the Second)

Rufus T. Firefly is the name of Groucho's character, the President of Freedonia, in the Marx Brothers' movie Duck Soup. I've always thought that if I were actually allowed to run a country, he would be my role model.
