Terran
"of or pertaining to the planet Earth," 1881, in science fiction writing, from L. terra (see terrain). Also used as a noun meaning "inhabitant of the Earth" (1953). An earlier form, terrene was used in M.E. in sense of "belonging to this world, earthly, secular, temporal" (c.1300), later, "of the Earth as a planet" (1635).

The term Terran is commonly used in science fiction to refer to humans. The word derives from Latin terra meaning Earth


I always dreamed that someday I would become something synthetic or artificial...information manifested in a robot of some sort etc....
And once that state was reached I would want to leave the planet....but either way I would want to keep the name Terran both as an identifier from where I originated from (Earth) and a reminder of what I once was (Human)....

slickwilly was a screen nick given to me by Asian hackers during my first semester of college 10 years ago. 13 is my lucky number and I was born on Feb. 13. Also, slickwilly13 is associated with my 1st hotmail e-mail address 10 years ago.

HLS is my innitials. When I joined here I could not think of anything clever. I so wish the powers that be would alow me to make a one time name change for over the past 2 years I have developed an awesome screen name at other sites that I would love to use here. When MSN still had the chat I was βΞΆħə秆ẽịת™

I would love to change HLS to that. lol

guess where I got my name from..

Well, because of the peeps that run this place's fear of allowing me the name Capncnut (by the way, why here and not above my avatar?*), I renamed myself CapnKnut. My real name is much more interesting though. In Gone With the Wind there was a character called Rhett. Out of fear of being ridiculed, my mother named me Brett. Yeah, I'm stuck with that name for good, great huh? :|:lol:

* Good point though.

That's funny, because everytime I see your nick. I always see those last 4 letters switched around. *L*

I originally went by a different name, but changed it as the first one was kinda lame, can't even remember what it was now, anyway, the one I've got now:

The zombie part - nuff said, makes sense, innit? :D

The "Minion" part, I had an episode of Friends on in the background while I was online and Chandler said "a minion of the anti-christ" at the very moment I was thinking of a new name, so it stuck, and ergo - MinionZombie.

The light-hearted subtitle "King of the Undead" was afforded me by an old ex-member of the forum who was around in the DiscussionApp days, which is when I first joined this merry band of nutters. :)

Well my real name is Debbie and I love angels I collect angels and I have used this name on other chats. I couldnt think of a good one so I stuck with this one. IF I could change my name it would be Zombielady that has a nice ring to it doesnt it? But, alot of people call me DA in chat and thats cool too!

Danny

my real names Danny, but thats taken surprisingly often, and when i first started using internet forums i was currently folowing a since finished anime and continuing manga series called hellsing, since it sounded a little "goffy" i thought theres no way anyone would use that, and i kept registering at different places with it and it kinda stuck.

beats "yetanothergoku18274728282832pwns":rolleyes:
