I'm guessing that mine must mean, "Thank you, sir, may I have another?"

Either I'm consecrated to the god Mars or my parents made a biblical reference.

That's probably 10/90 math. God damned Lutherans.

I'm more than willing to get on a zoom call and compare maps, show you were the bodes are literally buried, show you the scars from that conflict written across my own body. But, in the meantime, you be you. Uninteresting you.

What are "bodes"?

By the way, what do you think, is "Vladimir Putin" his real name? "Vladimir" can be read as "ruler of the world" or "peaceful ruler", both readings seeming rather ironic for one of the most powerful people in the world. James Patrick Mallory suggested in Encyclopedia of Indo-European Culture, that Teuta(na), the name of a famous Illyrian queen, as it is written in historical sources, wasn't actually her real name, but a title meaning something like "mistress of the people" (from the root *tewt). Well, by that logic, "Vladimir" probably isn't Vladimir Putin's real name either, right?

You understand that because a name means something doesn't preclude it from being an actual name, right? My own (RL) name translates as 'The god-like nobleman from the river', none of which remotely describes me.

Of course name can and do mean things. But names appearing symbolic in some story, describing somebodies personality accurately, suggests the story is mythological.

It suggests nothing of the sort. For instance, Joseph Stalin's real family name was Jughashvili. 'Stalin' was a pseudonym he  gave himself, and it translates to 'man of steel' (more or less). Stalin went on to rule with an iron fist. Steel is an alloy of iron. Does this mean Stalin was a mythological figure?

Of course. Human beings cannot be that evil as Stalin is claimed to be.

You should definitely add that as an example in your next thesis Flat.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

A term for a paper describing a persons research and their conclusions from it commonly presented by people seeking degrees or professional qualifications in the subject field.

It's amazing how good Photoshop was in the 1930s.
