valiant hackery is the prelude to spectacular demise. -- Sam Thomas Geek Mercenary
Not only is this a good quote, I think the name "Valiant Hackery" would make a great character name for someone in a gothic novel. Possibly because one of my grandmothers collected odd names as a hobby, I've always found this kind of indadvertant name creation interesting. The logical extension of it has been taken by the author of novel all of whose characters are named for the exits along I-65 between Birmingham and Mobile, AL. Since these are usually the small towns directly east and west of the route, you get results like "Jemeson Thorsby". Did I mention this was off-topic? regards, Ted
