The true definition is when I die and I realize I was never a turtle but merely a deluded human being.

If only I could take the credit.

But, alas, I (ahem) borrowed it. Angel







Seriously though, all credit goes to Scott Lynch, author of the "Gentleman Bastard" series (the book covers rotating through my avatar). My user title, religious views and signature are all part of the theme as well.

Actually, all my usernames here have been literary allusions. GalacticBusDriver came from the most excellent book "Waiting for the Galactic Bus" and SnakeOilWarrior from the truly bodacious sequel, "The Snake Oil Wars." Those books aren't what made me and atheist, but what made me realize it's ok to be an atheist.
Are they anything like the Flashman books of old?
