What does your username mean?
February 6, 2022 at 5:58 pm
There have been threads like this before, but I thought we're due for another.
What does your username mean? Why did you choose it?
Mine is pretty straightforward. I like Star Trek. I like to examine logical arguments. So there you go.
What's up with your username? Any subtle details going on with it that you'd care to share?

‘Brian Boru’ was the High King of Ireland early in the 11th century.
‘Sodding’ is a mild swear word.
‘4’ because I’m hopeless at remembering passwords.

Mine means I'm taking the worthy among you to Valhalla when I die.
Enjoy the next couple of years.

I think that most people would think that my username was pretty self-explanatory!

anomalocaris is the original apex predator in the history of life on earth.
The story of its discovery and classification is also IMHO one of the most instructive story of how the science of paleontology is done and how it informs evolutionary biology.
Cool facts about it:
1. it was the largest animal in its ecosystem. imagine a t-rex bigger than brachiosaurus or a shark larger than a blue whale.
2. It has the most eyes of any creature known to science - it’s two compound eyes consists of least 34,000 separate simple eyes.
3. It’s mouth is circular and looks like a inside out circular saw, with a ring of triangular teeth around the circumference pointed inwards.

I like fire.
pyrophile not pyromaniac
I also have a temper that has actually cooled in the last decades.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
