The words 'Dave' and 'David' have lost all meaning for me, after reading this thread.

You can't just look like a David. Being a David is a state of mind.

The Hebrew actually means 'Beloved of the Lord,' but for some reason gets left at 'Beloved' these days.

But as my gift to the Davids of the board, I give this.

DAVID m English, Jewish, French, Russian, Czech, Biblical
Pronounced: DAY-vid (English), da-VEED (French)
Possibly derived from Hebrew dod meaning "beloved". David was the second and greatest of the kings of Israel, ruling in the 10th century BC. Several stories about him are told in the Old Testament, including his defeat of Goliath, a giant Philistine. Jesus was supposedly descended from him. Other famous bearers of this name include the 5th-century patron saint of Wales, two kings of Scotland, empiricist philosopher David Hume, and explorer David Livingstone. This is also the name of the hero of Charles Dickens' semiautobiographical novel 'David Copperfield'.

So we're named after a adulterous, treacherous, imperialist king who mutilated dead corpses to get married?
Cool.

Cool indeed.

I'm technically not a David. But I am a David.

My first name is Matthew, but I go by my middle name which is David. (And if any of you say that my name isn't David you will get an evil glare and a knife in the back.)

Sure it is. Wong and Ossus are like uber-geniouses, and then there's me I'm just plain cool, and then there's Gandalf, and well c'mon:

How can Gandalf NOT be cool?

Captain Cyran · Post by **Captain Cyran** » 2003-07-12 04:38pm

Gandalf may be cool, but nothing beats the humorous acts of Zifnab/Fizban.

And Wong and Ossus aren't the only super geniouses here so

Michaels are a far superior bunch, I mean, come on, we've got the same name as an angel that kicked the shit out satan if you believe in that thing....

Plus there is far more of us.

Gil Hamilton · Post by **Gil Hamilton** » 2003-07-12 05:44pm

Michaels are OK, but not as cool as Davids.

Hey, does Wong's son have a degree in science and stuff? I think not! He's just a kid (AFAIK), so BLEH!

I migth also add that there is a NINJA TURTLE named after us Mikes (don't nitpick either, Michael-Michaelangalo, same difference). Come now silly Davids, can you beat a reptilian kung-fu master partnered with a wizard, partenered with a really smart guy, partnered with coolest guy in the known universe? You lose little man. Game, set, match. Mikes win!

The best one was raphael, and you know it, which is obviously a copy of Rye.
