B.cereus is a bacteria and I am a microbiology major, I am super lame.
When I first looked at it I thought it was a clever way to say "Be Serious".
That what makes it great, it can be used in other situations. It was also on our club tee shirts. They read Front: "You aren't a Microbiology Major?" Back: "You can't B. cereus!"

Play Clive Barker's Jericho and you'll understand mine. And no, i do not think that it was an awesome game.

War Penguin was a website I planned on making with a series called the "Pizza Boy Chronicles".

I may have posted here before, but I don't feel like browsing all 13 pages to be sure... anyway:
My real name is Wes. When I was in seventh grade, I thought I was cool to spell it with Z. Well, one day I noticed that it would be "Zew" if I spelled it backwards.

My very first internet account was darthzew. I've kept it to this day!

I was too damn stubborn to go for something original so I used my actual first name...

Mine's a boring story, really... Eco came from the substance from Jak and Daxter, so no, I'm not environmentalist. Eclipse came from when I used "Eco" as the name of a roleplay character and one of my former friends added it because he felt I needed a last name for some reason. I never actually used the character. Later, an account of mine got hacked and so I created a new one for the site, which was EcoEclipse. Since then it's stuck, and it's much better being referred to as "Eco" than my previous "Toast."

Its from an old Infocom game (back when we all used DOS and text was all we had) called Zork. Every time you go into a totally dark area, you'd get a message saying "Its pitch-black. You might be eaten by a Grue." And if you'd persist on entering, you'd eventually get a message like "You have been eaten by a Grue!" or "You have walked into the slavering jaws of a waiting Grue!" or somesuch.

Queen is the greatest band of the history of bands...and 'Don't Stop Me Now' is the greatest song in the history of songs.

...If you don't know how I got my name yet, then go listen to that song again...

... since there are too many people here that consider me a wee bit stupid:
1. My star sign is leo, lion
2. Li-Ion = Lithium Ion, found in batteries
3. I'm electrical engineer
-> just a wordplay
[/edit]
What is that avatar from?

I love Frank Sinatra, so I use the name Frank_Sinatra_ for just about anything.

Well...back when men lived in caves to hide from the dinosaurs, I had a character in a short story (later to be a(n) villain/anti-hero in other stories) who went by "Stryfe." I wanted the e-mail '[email protected],' since I hadn't yet found hotmail. (Strange, no? It was probably taken, anyway.) I then added my first initial to it, making it dstryfe, and just began signing up as that everywhere.

Gyrefalcon was the name of my "Mech Warrior" Jade Falcon Clan character back in the 1990's. It grew into a bigger persona over time on the net. I really miss that game. >_>
