Zero Gravitas is the name of a GSV in Iain Banks' wonderful Culture series.

Each ship is also an extremely intelligent AI with a very odd sense of humor about their purpose (many of the ships can contain billions of people, each ship can pretty much wreck a planet, and all of them are in such a different part of mindspace that they are pretty much inscrutable). The Culture are basically space hippies who just happen to be enormous badasses when angered.

Some of their names are hilarious:

Prosthetic Conscious
Irregular Apocalypse
Trade Surplus
Just Read The Instructions
Of Course I Still Love You
So Much For Subtlety
What Are The Civilian Applications?
Reasonable Excuse
Frank Exchange Of Views
Transient Atmospheric Phenomenon
Ravished By The Sheer Implausibility Of That Last Statement

etc.

Brain Freeze 93
The first is because I like my brain the way it is, the second is because I like to freeze things, and the number 93 is just a random number I picked out. It's a coincidence that Animaniacs<- * my obsession * came out in 1993! 8O * I just realized that fact a few days ago.*
So it's Brainfre3ze_93, that's about it for me to say. :roll:

Well, I am a big fan of Weird Al ''Yankovic'', and whilst conjuring up my username, I wished to go for something simplistic, but giving a slight hint of my personality. Hence the alias, ''WeirdAlYankovicFan''.

hi Zen, it made me curious.. :D what is it?

Sorry, I missed this. It's Zenovei. And I feel awkward even posting that, even though it isn't my real name. Silly, eh? :lol:

Keira is just a name I always liked. I have no idea why. I didn't even know the meaning of it until today but now I think "little dark one" kinda suits me.
I really didn't feel creative when I had to chose a username. Also no English speaking people can pronounce my real name correctly and I've heard too many variations of it so I decided to chose something else. Something simple.

Goldiemarie is the name of my oldest cat. 99% of the time he is sitting on my lap when I am on the computer at night. :)

I couldn't think of a name to use on another forum, but I already had my AV chosen. It is a picture of myself with lots of butterflies, so I took the easy option and just called myself Butterflies.

I kept my username when I joined this forum so that people who know me from the other forum can recognize me.

My username is based off of a late 90's video game series that I used to play lots of. The game series is called Syphon Filter. Back then, my favorite action hero was Gabe Logan (the main protagonist of the games).

Mine has personal connotations, as well as being a reference to a scene in "The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe" where the little actress with the slight rhotacism speech impediment (possibly due to bad casting and her Northern twang) tumbles out of the wardrobe and neatly summarises the entire Narnia series in six words by announcing: "It's all white! I've come back!"

At this point, I was the only person in the entire cinema to burst out laughing.
