As far as I know Fitz was added to a father's first name to produce a surname.
It simply means "Son of". Allen son of Robert would take the name Allen FitzRobert.
I find it odd a ship would be named Edmund son of Gerald.
As if one could give birth to something made of steel.
Unless of course your a son of a gun. :)
Speaking of aliens, there's a phrase being uttered around town today that is completely alien to me. I know I've heard these words before, but it's been so long they just don't seem to make any sense in a modern context. It's like we're in a dream and we're all just waiting to wake up and confront reality. But it's not a dream. It is reality:
"The Cleveland Browns are in first place"
Yeah, I know... weird, isn't it?
Somehow the Saints are 1 in our division, even though we lost last night's game AND we're 4 and 5!
The inspiration came from a 70's or 80's issue of Mad Magazine. I was working on a program that dealt with fish data and wanted a logo for it. My conclusion was that I suck at art, which I knew ahead of time, so it wasn't much of a conclusion. Still, I liked the idea, and the image is good enough for an avatar.Quote:

They still might, but they tend to lose on the road. Since they are sure to be no better than the third seed in the conference, they'll be playing at home in the wild card round, so they could win the first one then go on the road and lose.
What I'm most surprised at is to see how much of a bust Atlanta is. They started off their season with a solid 2-0, but since then they've only one game.
I'm a bit surprised at just how bad all of those teams other than Jacksonville is. I expected the other three to be much more competitive than they are. NO has had issues on the road, but they have enough offensive weapons to do well on any given week, and the defense wasnt' terrible last year. This year, they are mediocre in all aspects of the game, it seems, despite having a fair number of weapons.
Tampa lacked a reliable quarterback and had a few other holes, but I didn't think they'd be THIS bad. As for Atlanta, they tend to fall short every year. Stinking up the place is new, though.
I don't follow them, but the biggest surprise to me is Oakland. No wins so far is surprising.
I like the post race.

Sorry I guess my eyes are so poor or I am not dweeb enough to get the joke.
What is the device?
It's a pc disguised as an N64
That makes me realize that I may never have even seen an N64.
Old farts :D
Hmm I wonder how smilies appear on VBForums

This was the one game I always kicked ass... but not enough to fork out $1200 to relive it all again:Quote:

I was pretty good at Galaga. We actually had an "Arcade" N64 game which had Galaga, Galaxy, Dig Dug, Pole Position, and Pac-Man.
