Mikiana is riddled with in-jokes: http://kreativekorp.dyndns.org/mikiana/etymology.html The most interesting one, not listed on that page, has to do with the Mikiana word for "weird," "cyntha." One who does weird things becomes a "cynthera," and one who has weird things done to them becomes a "cynthia." For some reason most fictional characters I've encountered named Cynthia seem to be victims of something weird. -- Hasta la pasta, Jonathyn Bet'nct. ------------------------------------------------------------ I tried the real world once; didn't really care for it. Beth: Lisa, all dogs are boys, all cats are girls. Is that right, Max? Max: Exactly. Lisa: Well, I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but Daisy is obviously, and I mean obviously, a girl. Max: Oh we're not disputing that. It's not a question of sex, but of gender. Lisa: Sex and gender are the same thing. Max: Uh, not so. I would much rather have sex than gender. Lisa: Since you have neither that must be very sad for you.
