Leopold's claim to fame was being half the battery of guns known as "Anzio Annie" to American troops being bombarded by it and it's twin - named Robert - as they attempted to establish a beach-head near Anzio, Italy during WW2

Leopold is currently displayed at the Aberdeen Ordinance Museum in Maryland


As for me...

Killjoy is a combination of a play on words centering on a bit of graffiti painted by US troops on various locations across the globe - "Kilroy was here", and the name of an obscure character from the (I believe) now defunct Charlton comics publication "E-Man".
Killjoy seemed to have no super powers save the ability to nullify the effects of whatever villains attempted to do to him, at which point they might be inclined to utter the phrase:
"You're such a Killjoy !"

It was also the name of several Dukes and Archdukes of Austria, two Holy Roman Emperors, and is also the name of my dead cat.
 
my name is alison. in a hard rock cafe in NY, my friend saw the sign behind me and a few posts and only saw AL IS ON , and pointed it out to me. it's really ALL IS ONE. grew on the philisophy.
 
Funny you should ask; I just got here.

I have long related to Professor Marvel, the mere mortal who the residents of Emerald City proclaimed to be “Oz, the First Wizard Deluxe”. Many unbelievers remember him as a charlatan; they forget that in the end his wizardry triumphed.

In my case, there have been many times in my life when I received more credit than I felt I deserved for what I had done. And yet I can’t think of any one person who could live my whole life any better than I.

(Or maybe we’re both just hucksters!)
 
i needed an email address about 6 years ago and ken was taken and i had kenworth in the back of my mind,not sure where from.found out it was a trucking company a few months ago.hmmm
 
also i have a deep suspicion of email addresses with numbers in them,sorta like with double-barrelled names.

No, it's a kind of military rank, or like a police officer one.

It sounds a bit like Commissioner, which I believe is top rank (or at least close to it?) in a Police station.
 
Umm, mine is a bit easy to understand. I'm searching for many things,and I'm alive so I guess it clarifies me to be called a being.
 
I like rude screen-names. Once, feeling a bit cheeky, I registered onto this site as likyerpussy. Some girl replied to my post, which wasn't rude at all and asked me what my name meant, when I sort of spelled it out for her, she got really cross and then her boyfriend posted a really threatening message to me. What is it with people?
 
that's a hilarious scenario, since you obviously didn't come up with that name with her in mind. lol @ newbs.
