Does it infuriate any one else that Kevin Sorbo's Hercules is based more on Thesseus one of Hercules' friends than Hercules and yet is still called Hercules?

One of my favorite books is Cheaper by the Dozen by Frank B. Gilbreth Jr. and Ernestine Gilbreth Carey. It's based on the authors family of 12 (well...technically 13 because there were honestly only 11 kids and then the two parents) from the 1920s. There is also a sequel, Belles on their Toes and various other books written about or by the various family members. I love researching the family and even played the role of Martha Gilbreth in Cheaper by the Dozen and Belles on their Toes at a local theatre. Therblig is the family's name spelled backwards and was used to describe a more efficient way of working.

I love Cheaper by the Dozen! Must have read it a hundred times! I didn't know there were sequels though. I'll remember that next time I go to the bookshop.

My name is truthseeker, because i love truth although it is sometimes very difficult. When I would say other people sometimes, what i think, they would think, that i am naive. I dont understand how can people deceive and lie other people. It is probably with their ignorance, that what they do to other people, do they also yourself. Please sorry, if my english isnt very good.

Crion87...well, the 'Crion' was a unit in the computer game Earth 2150, an artillery piece. Fragile, but packs quite a punch. :twisted: '87' is 1987, my birth year. :)

Ahhh! Well, Mars is kind of boring anyway, after that war that virtually wiped out the planet and most of what was left departed. Heck Oasises on Earth seem more happening. Though there are few subterranean cities, and a couple cool surface landmarks, and some fun to operate transports. Tell Erackhu Chinock, I apologize for that incident at the bar in Dryzhakel, a few Millinium ago at the last Chook Chook Ice Festival in Queembahk, 3rd level Slide Slip track, I did not know they engaged and she came on to me.

Noetic Concordance is a noncorporeal alien (of the Lylmik race I think) from Julian May's Galactic Milieu series.

I used my name because this is where I can be myself. But my normal online name is scoogy. I created it when I first got online with webTV. I tried to create a name for myself (on Yahoo! I think) and got frustrated when all my choices were already in use. So I thought, "Try this, you #@$%#," and started typing; it came out "scoogytalpherbittlemas," and I started using it on forums. Someone answered me, saying "scoogy, for short," and my nonsensical name was born. :lol:

I am a big fan of any fiction story that concerns magic, either evil or benign. Thus i took the name Archmage, after the Latin prefix Arch-, which basically means ancient (and while i'm not really ancient [i'm 14, for goodness sake], my psycological age is way higher then my physical age), and mage, another term for wizard, sorcerer. And while i don't use magic at all (Cause i can't, but it would be useful), i read all sorts of fantasy fiction books. There ya go!

Mage- From the Parthenean Magi - ancient preists who understood astrology and dreams thought magical qualities, they wore tall pointed hats as did many other Partheans. Also the most likely source of the biblical wise men story.
