    Self made "namification" of the word "Equilibrium" first used as a character name in World of WarCraft. I grew to like it so much I used it everywhere else, and now it is pretty much my identity.

    Scientists measure a second as the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods
    of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine
    levels of the ground state of the caesium 133 atom.
    Or the duration of 9,192,631,770 matches where David Kim crushes you head to head in StarCraft 2

    Hoo boy.

    Well, when I got a pet snake and was 11 years old, I named him "Quirel", because he had a design on the back of his neck that looked like a face, and because I hadn't read the first Harry Potter book recently enough to know that it was spelled "Quirrell".

    About one year later, I started playing Runescape and needed a username. Everything I tried was already taken (LotR character names, LiquidMetalMan, etc) and my brother suggested I use "Quirel".
    In just about every forum after that, I used it as my username... until the Halo Wars Forums. Some sort of snafu when I signed up resulted in an account I couldn't access. So, I tried again, this time using an extended version from a fanfic that I never got around to publishing. Rasq'uire'laskar.

    I probably would have only used it for that forum... but I posted on that forum a lot. Made plenty of friends, and became known as "The sarcastic guy with a name nobody can pronounce."

    I still use "Quirel" every now and then, mostly on forums which don't accept apostrophes in usernames. Hell, yesterday some of my friends were disappointed that I didn't use the 'proper' format when I joined a gaming forum.

    Huh for some reason, the first thing that came to my mind when searching for a new user name was a circling flock of evil flying sandwiches; flapping their slices of bread like they were wings.. ready to dive and suck out the soul of the livings!

    I'm not sure I've ever seen in a Karak in-game

    Seek help immediately... but don't ever change.

    Not particularly, just that I don't really need to explain my usernames origin. It's kinda obvious.... ISN'T IT?!?
    Yes, that's right! That is indeed ME on the right.
