[color=#000000ost_uid0]There is a character in [iost_uid0]Final Fantsy X[/iost_uid0] (albeit a minor one) called Zuke.

Scary or what?[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Not particularly (although I would've come down with shivers myself); there are so many characters out there that need names, a simple, unusual-sounding name like Zuke was bound to surface sooner or later.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]There's a disturbingly large number of Zukes out there. Heck, there's a site called The Zuke Zone.[/colorost_uid0]

Now how many preachers (I duno, his site looked like he was), computer viruses, monkeys, dog biscuits, or game characters do you see named "Zeke"?[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Now how many people would want a dog biscuit named after them?

Zeke whips Zuke by about 193,000 points in a Google-fight, so I wouldn't take Zuke's side just yet, CG.

Zeke is the name of a high-res spectroscopy technique-type thingy, a dog tag phone card (that one disturbed me with its games & such), a bearded collie mix who apparently puts up with a lot, and who knows what else.

NAHTMMM, on the other hand, is not the name of anything important. Which is as it should be. [/colorost_uid0]

The only thing that shows up on a Google search for "Sa'ar Chasm" is Body Parts.

There is a sar chasm website out there somewhere that Zeke showed me. I forget the exact spelling.

Now, if you do a Google search on my *real* name...[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Hmm...there appears to be 1,760 references to my name. Probably because I took my name from "So Long, and Thanks for all the Fish", by the late Douglas Adams.

I also found out that there was apparantly a reference to it in Transformers![/colorost_uid0]

Although, for torturing-Plasmoid purposes, it is HANDY indeed. *evil Bart Simpson-like laugh*
