I must say, Im very convinced. At least the poor man :-)
No single thing abides, but all things flow.
Fragment to fragment clings, and thus they grow
Until we know and name them.
Then by degrees they change and are no more
The things we know.

I must say, I've finally understood Yggdrasill's nickname. Now I wonder how I should pronounce it... ???

Heh.  The first time I saw Yggdrasil's name I only recognized it from an anime  :P

-Socrates

-Confucius

"Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet."
- Albert Einstein?

"American cartoons place characters in situations; anime
places situations around characters.  Anime characters
are not like fictional characters but more like fictional
people; their actions stem directly from their personalities,
and not just as a means to move the story's plot
forward.  We are made to sympathize with them, and
not simply be entertained by them."

I like that one.  :)

Now where is Yggdrasil...

And how do you pronounce his name (forum name)...
"The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.' " -Ronald Reagan

"I'm for anything that gets you through the night, be it prayer, tranquilizers, or a bottle of Jack Daniels." -Frank Sinatra

I guess you have to pronounce it in Norwegian, or perhaps more like they speak in Iceland.
You have to be careful with the sound of R and I.

R is a rolling R, like you are going trough an electric shock and got to little to drink the last six days.
The I is like the sound of an pretty lady who get lost from a travelparty, and panicking in the heart of Amazonas.

Like Yggdrrrrrrrrrrrrasilll  ::)
