Might as well annoy all the wingnuts in one go.
When I first started visiting forums, it was a theology forum, and I chose the name apophenia -- the finding of patterns in random data -- as something of an inside joke poking fun at the Christian theists on that forum. So I can definitely empathize. In a similar way, choosing to advertise myself as "The Great Serpent" is both an allusion to the character in Norse mythology as well as a jab at the story of Satan as a serpent in the garden of Eden.
Ah, a fellow fan of savage irony. There is a subset of crank who will have a meltdown for such trivialities.
