I gather that Alexander means he who cannot read?
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition

"Rob" means "to steal", while "ert" means "to inflict pain". So Robert = smack you in the mouth and run off with your iPhone.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Lol OK!

I was a bit of a klepto as a kid, I have no idea why. I didn't do the punching bit though.

My parents called me Robajob when I was little.

Bright fame eh? My wife is still amazed you guys consider me to be a "real person" as she puts it Smile

My real name is Armand btw.
