As a stupid American, I am not 100% sure of what my name means. I got it off the British comedy Red Dwarf. I am pretty sure it is one of those weird English curses.

Easy. First initial, Last name. Comes from having an amazingly active imagination. :crooked:

Smeg is a word which was invented for the Red dwarf TV series. As they could use real swear words for obvious reasons. It's also an brand of cooker.

My aximsite name of Vaxtang was my D&D character name from twenty years ago.

mine is kinda hard to explain....

a couple years ago i took a law-related class that assigned a couple brief articles about brain death and how it's measured. there are a few devices that are used in the death-evaluation process, including the EKG (electroencardiograph) and the EEG (electroencephalograph).

EKGs measure heart activity ("cardio"), if im not mistaken, and EEGs measure brain waves. (An interesting observation in the articles was that shortly after EEGs were first developed they started using them to measure brain activityor the lack thereof. But then advances in the technology made the EEGs more sensitive, sensitive enough that they could now detect signals that the old machines could not. The implication being that a person who would have qualified as dead by one of the older machines might be classified as STILL ALIVE by a newer machine. Note also that we still use EEGs...)

anyway, for some reason I never forgot about those articles. I just think its really interesting to think about what an EEG might "see" as it monitors the brain of a person, dying or healthy, but especially what it might see as a person passes through the end of life.

Presumably what exactly such a machine could see would be relatively astounding from a human perspective, hence, "Astounded."

and I think being astounded in itself is a marvelous and unique sensation, and thats another reason I chose the word.

And that's why I'm Astounded (EEG). :)
