I don't have middle name. How can I get one? Is there any free version (but please, not 'Linus') :) Tomasz Sowinski -- http://www.shooltz.com

All beer and middle names should be free

Chris Losinger

Christian Dylan Losinger middle name after Dylan Thomas, the poet -c

To explain Donald Knuth's relevance to computing is like explaining Paul's relevance to the Catholic Church. He isn't God, he isn't the Son of God, but he was sent by God to explain God to the masses.

General Custard Lee (I believe) - he reigned during the civil war. I'm not named after him though. My mother is really religious and she tells she got my name from God. All I want to know is what she was smoking when that happened. :rolleyes: Jeremy Falcon Imputek "Life is too precious - don't waste it." - Norm Almond "And remember, what some call cynical, others call experienced." - Christopher Duncan

Well if your mother was serious then you are probably named after Witness Lee[^], a Chinese bondslave of Jesus Christ (no I am not making this up, check the website out, hectic stuff.) Someone must have been smoking something fierce however :rolleyes: Both my names are rather Christian and religious (Paul and Michael) though neither of my parents are very religious. My uncle (who my middle name is after, Michael) though is a Canon in the Church, but far from a disciple of Christ (or even a good Christian come to think it :-D) * Google is awesome. Type in "Bible Lee" and you get tons of links. Maybe Google told your mother, not God. :rolleyes: regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa

"Ed" as in the talking horse. A bad US TV show in the 60s. Tim Smith "Programmers are always surrounded by complexity; we can not avoid it...
