In Reply to: Iggie names? A survey. posted by Chris on August 09, 1999 at 15:10:49:

His name's Icculus, and here's what it means.

It's a reference to the musical children's fairytale, as written and performed
by the Vermont-based jam-band Phish. See, it takes place in the land of Lizards,
and the beings that lived there were called Lizards. An evil dictator named Wilson
enters the land and eventually enslaves the Lizards by stealing the one thing that
enabled the Lizards to live in harmony and peace, the "Helping Friendly Book." In it
was to be found how to 'avoid doing things smart people don't do.' Well, the writer of
this book was a 'wise and knowledgable' prophet that lived atop a mountain ('come from top
the mountain, baby, where the people come to pray' duh-duh-duh-duh). Well the story's
protagonist, Col. Forbin, climbs the mountain to get help from Icculus the prophet in returning the
Helping Friendly Book to its owners.

So that's it. Lizards. Icculus. Wise and knowledgable, just like my little ig.
{But I bet Icculus the prophet never freaked out and refused to eat or move)

This may have been totally off-topic, but I guess it would qualify as the opposite of what
your survey is designed to measure: obscurity.

Okay I'm done.
Zrbrt and Icculus (wise, but not tame by a long shot)
